Universal Dinghy Lift. Lifting Sling. WEST MARINE Dinghy Lifting Sling at West Marine. Storing Your Cruising Dinghy. When outfitting your boat for cruising, one of the many decisions you must make is how you will store your dinghy while underway. Although your sailboat carries you the big miles, once you are anchored it’s the dinghy that becomes your sporty convertible and gets you around. Your dinghy allows you to explore the tiny creeks and shallow backwaters, it lets you meet and socialize with your fellow cruisers, and is your lifeline to shore. The goal of storing your dinghy should be that the act of storing and deploying it on a regular basis is not a job that you dread. So, what are your options? A popular way to manage a cruising dinghy while underway is not to store it at all, but to tow it behind your sailboat.
With the outboard engine removed, most dinghies tow surprisingly well and can handle much rougher weather conditions than you may at first think them capable of. When towing an inflatable dinghy, a bridle should be used to spread the load of the tow over two secure points. TORQEEDO Folding 62W Solar Outboard Battery Charger at West Marine.
