John — over the last winter I purchased new Mercury 280 Hypalon RIB for my boat (to replace the 20-year-old Seaworthy 9.2 wooden-floor dinghy, which was starting to slow-leak…), and I put it up on the foredeck to store out of the water between sailing weekends. There’s no way I could sail with it up there; it would foul both the genny and the sheets. I could always deflate it, but that would just add time when we got out into the islands. So we tow it behind when leaving the marina, and hoist it back on deck when we’re ready to leave the boat after a trip out.
Given the shape of the foredeck (narrow and pointy), the cabin top and the length of your rowing dinghy, I’m not sure I can imagine how you’d make it work. — Fred Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 C&C Landfall 38) -- Bayfield, WI > On Aug 15, 2017, at 12:49 PM, john wright via CnC-List > <[email protected]> wrote: > > Any owners of 38 Landfall or any other C&C, keep/store their tender on the > foredeck.
