Dinghy, stowing, or towing?

[vyv_cox]

Towed from the port and starboard bow rings with the central painter line loose as a backup. No other measures taken, no drag rope (I assume you mean one astern of the dinghy), no ballast. The tender had an inflatable keel that is quite effective.

I think I have a video on the laptop that shows it in action. Will look it out

Good Evening!

Due to the design and size of our seahorse, Benetau Antares 9.80, we (69+68) have no davits and stow our dinghy and the outbord engine in the lazarette under the aft deck.

It‘s always a struggle to take the dinhgy out of the lazarette, to inflate it, to fix the 2,5 HP Suzuki.

My thoughts are about towing or stowing on the foredeck.

The former owner fixed the dinghy with special hooks after the rear panel, but removed this, as he could not use after door to walk on the pontoon.

What’s more, the bonnet wouldn’t close anymore.

Due to I have no experience with this items, I hope to get some advice from the forum members how to manage this.

In advance many thanks for your input!

Cordially!

If you stow the tender vertically on the transom it should fit next to the transom door
