Doug,

Have you ever evaluated the Niccolls Lite NN10?

http://www.niccollslite.net/page3.html

I'd be interested in your comments on it.

If you haven't looked into the NN10, specifically, can you tell me the
things about the nesting dinghies you were unimpressed with that led
to that conclusion?

I'm looking for a row-only dink that'll fit on the foredeck of a
Hunter 310, and the NN10 looked like a nice alternative to a Walker
Bay 8 or a Dyer Dhow Midget; smaller to store, but larger to use - all
at no more cost than the Dyer or a Fatty Knees.

I have absolutely no experience with nesting dinghies, however, and
would appreciate any guidance I can get from more experienced folks.

Fair winds,
Al
