As has been touched on, in reasonably calm conditions, tow the dinghy so it is going uphill on the first or second stern wave. That will keep tension on the tow line. For longer passages or ones where we anticipate rough weather, we lift onto the foredeck and lash it in place. It's a pain in the...neck, but ensures we won't have trouble later. As Jonathan suggests, we always take the outboard off before we leave.
