	Dinghy Information: Dinghies for Cruising Sailboats - Cruising Dinghies for Dummies
		When it's not too bad and we're ready to stow the dinghy, we hoist it amidships from the two dinghy bow attachments using the main halyard, and turn the bottom towards the boat to be cleaned.
		Some boats hoist their dinghy out of the water a foot or two on davits a halyard at night to inhibit the growth somewhat.
		Neither did we have dinghy davits at the stern, because (a) that's where the Monitor windvane was, and (b) it would have been too much windage and weight in the wrong place, and (c) we knew two Tayana's who had dinghy davits which eventually cracked.

	Hostellers Sailing Club - Dinghy cruising
		No one would pretend that a dinghy is as comfortable (or should we say less uncomfortable) as a yacht for long sea passages, although the trailability of a dinghy may allow a sea passage to be avoided in the first place.
		Most dinghies have, or should have, a rowing thwart and in many cases the clear height under this thwart is too little to permit sleeping on the bottom of the boat.
		Most dinghy cruisers sail within harbours and estuaries or within half a mile or so from the shore so do not need to plot a course on a chart or fix a position with multiple compass bearings, even if these were practical things to do on a small open boat.

	Dinghy in Tow
		It is not necessary to have the dinghy perfectly centered and aligned behind the coach as the hitch centers and locks into position automatically.
		Positioned so road debris is deflected down away from the front of the dinghy, the Sentry is easy to install and remove, and stows in a handy carrying case that protects other items in your storage compartment from road contaminants.
		Since the flat-tow dinghy configuration has more than one pivot point, it is important to know that backing up is not an option – not even a short distance.

	Dinghy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The best size of dinghy for most yachts is about 3.5 to 4 meters, because this can carry a complete family or a family's provisions for a month; however, yacht size usually is the limiting factor.
		Modern dinghies are typically made of glass-fiber reinforced polyester (GRP) because it requires the least care and does not rot.
		Recently, rigid multifunction self-rescue dinghies such as the rotation-molded Portland Pudgy multifunction dinghy[3] and the Clam [4], have been introduced, challenging the idea that sitting in an inflatable liferaft and waiting for rescue is the best solution to the problem of abandoning ship.

		It is raised by pulling a rope and a single-sailed gaff rig is preferred over a marconi with a triangular mainsail and jib because a gaff rig has a lower center of force and a simpler rig.

		The system does not compromise the dinghy’s braking system and the Senturian includes a breakaway system as part of the kit, which will bring the dinghy to a controlled stop in the event the coach and dinghy become separated, according to Demco.
		The system has a breakaway feature that stops the dinghy in the event it becomes separated from the coach, and because it’s electronically controlled, you can apply the dinghy’s brakes from the driver’s compartment independently of the coaches’ brakes.

	Dinghy Handling & Seamanship \| Sailonline.com
		Often forgotten or overlooked when investigating a charter company, the dinghy is a critical element to a charter cruise: It can be either the source of much help and fun or the cause of lots of frustration, which could potentially ruin your charter.
		Using the dinghy at night, always carry a 360¾ white ligt if possible, and/or at least a powerful flashlight to show your presence, spot obstacles like mooring balls, anchor chains etc., and incidentally to be able to find your boat in the dark.
		The reason is that the chop on the water shakes the dinghy too roughly and the outboard could simply tear the wood transom of the dinghy and sink.

	PassageMaker Chat Deck: Lifting a dinghy
		Yes, you are limited to only stepping off the sides when the dinghy is up, and access to one side is usually diminished, but I've never found it to be much of an in convenience.
		However, the boom is too short when raised to 45° to extend the dinghy fully over the side, so while holding the boom out with my hip, I have to lower it to 90° using the the sailing winch and a line.
		That would also mean I could eliminate the mast's boom; store the dinghy across the aft end of the boat deck and have a lot of extra space between it and the flybridge; and, of course, lower the mast when necessary (rarely of ever in the PNW).
