[Public-List] [Ext] Dinghy solutions

[Jonathan Bresler]

Have not built one, so I am not speaking from experience.
Been thinking about dinghies as well.   Inflatables dont row well,
and dont last well in the sun.   Hard dinghies take up a lot of space.
The area between the mast and bow or abaft the mast is not large.
There is the v-berth hatch just forward of the mast and the companionway
slider and the vang aft the mast.   So there's a certain value to a hard,
small (collapsible?) dinghy.

Some folks use a porta-bote strapped to the stanchions on one side.
Another option is a nesting dinghy such as this one

Have not figured this out for myself yet.
