Subject: Dinghy stowage - was [Public-list] Propane

I have had success using a nesting dinghy (hard dinghy) on my A-30. It
takes 5-10 minutes to stow and launch, has no detrimental effects on
visibility, and leaves sufficient room for deck manouvers. I can
launch and retrieve the dinghy by myself without a halyard or lifting
device because the dinghy is handled in halves.

Here are some pictures:

foredeck was o.k if the front chamber was deflated,but there was no access
in or out via the hatch and it was a dancing exercise to get to the bow when
it was lashed down.The easiest way to get it aboard was to remove the
forward stanchion and drop the lifelines then use a halyard to winch it up
(singlhanded).
