[Public-List] [Ext] Dinghy solutions

[Michael Grosh]

I agree with Townie. I don't have a Dyer, but dimensionally it is about the
same. I had a smaller one that fit forward of the mast, it was much less
stable and did not sail very well.
A self bailer (I installed an Elvstrom Super bailer) and just tow. Not
really very much drag.
