Hi all,
Hope your week is going well.
I bought a dinghy so I can reach the shore from a mooring ball. At least that is the goal.
Avon R3-10
As far as I know the Marina allows me to store the dinghy at my slip.
They give you a contraption that sits at the triangle near the dock.
You can put the dinghy on it.
1. Do you just flip it, tarp the dinghy and tie it ? or should I make a proper cover for it from sunbrella or something ?
2. When towing it, do you take three lines and make bridle ? anything you recommend ?
3. I assume I should add some float to prevent the line getting sucked by my prop ?
4. Is there a rule as to how far back to tow the dinghy from the sailboat ?
5. Besides varnishing the wood which I am good at, any recommendation for taking care of the Plastic ?
Thank you
