New Dink for our Mainship 30 Rum Runner

Add caption Bought this "Beachcomber" sailing dingy to use on the new boat. 80+ yr old man in North Ft Meyers sailed it on the river here. I have not sailed it as of today. We did row out into the mangroves twice. The keel makes it easy to row. The boat is Tippy and might turn turtle in a rough water or two people on one side. We had a walker bay, that proved to be not such a good dink for the big boat, nor was it a good sailboat. This is almost the same.  The sail is new last year. If we attach an engine or trolling motor then Florida wants it registered.  The dink weighs about 100#s  and fits the davits well.  Went fishing offshore with a neighbor.
