Has anyone ever had one of these dinghies?
The Dinks
One is
for sale in my neck of the woods and the
price is right, I'm just curious about a few things.
I'm most curious about the sailing version. I know dinghy/yacht
tender sailing is usually pretty lack luster compared to a
race dinghy, but I'm curious how they do. I plan on using one as a
tender and sailing at
anchor or out of the marina on hot days when we are hanging around but not taking the bigger
boat out.
So have you had one? How was the quality of construction? Would it only sail on a reach? Or can it point into the
wind a little bit? Are they really tippy or not so bad for a rigid
hull?
With the squared off stern I'm hoping it's a little more sure footed than my old
wood and
fiberglass pram that is now so waterlogged it must weigh 180lbs at least.
