I've given away another dinghy.
So far, over the years, i have tried various dinghies for my 28'
sailboat:
A very heavy 8' Nautilus rigid dinghy that was too large to fit on
the foredeck and too heavy.
A Sevylor inflatable.........nearly worthless.
A Sevylor "Sea Eagle" inflatable kayak, a little better but paddled
poorly.
A home built 2-Paw-9 nesting dinghy, rows very well and almost fits on
the foredeck (I just gave it away)

So, I considered a 10' portabote but it is too long to fit inside the
shrouds on the side deck. An 8' one might work but their capacity is
low. I am 180 lbs wife is about 135, carrying capacity is only about
350 lbs

Another inflatable? This would also mean an engine for it and
carrying gas.

Ideas?
