Yeah, no kidding. To me a dinghy was always a grubby old Sabot you bought
at a
garage sale, or the police auction! I get a kick out of the 10 foot RIBs
with a
center console. There's 10-20 grand worth of tender all over the place
these
days.

Those are not dinghys. Now, THIS is a dinghy!

And this modest little thing is a tender. http://www.wally.com/jumpch.asp
