The dinghy problem again
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? |
