I have a 12 foot RIB. We tow it with a line fastened to the aft end of the port toe rail. The 35 MK I has the rail with holes every few inches the length of the boat. The dinghy cannot be brought aboard, there is no place it could fit and it is heavy. Warning : Non-RIB inflatables may not tow well to say the least unless you hoist the bow out of the water. Our old flat floor inflatable would dive underwater if flat-towed. Joe Coquina

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: Stus-List How do you tow your Dinghy and bring it aboard We tow our 9'6" inflatable astern either on a short painter or bow up on the second stern wave. We hoist it with a spinnaker halyard and place it on the foredeck for transits or long term stowage. I can hoist it singlehanded. Dennis C.

No Davits... We have a 1986 C&C44 (with the ridiculously long reversed transom)... There is no obvious towing fitting around the transom other than a couple of rings that the previous owner added but both are only held on by a couple of screws. How do people typically tow their dinghies? - from the aft Cleats? IS it prudent to attempt to raise the dinghy form the water by way of the mast swung out abeam with a couple shackles (like a crane) for deck storage? Thanks guys!
