I have been following this conversation with some interest, as I am trying to figure out a reasonable way to tow our dinghy without removing the motor. So…I went to the dinghy-tow site to check it out. Lo-and-behold, there is a picture of an F32 looking uncannily familiar. Upon further inspection, I realized it was our boat in its original configuration (Sequoyah), dragging its dinghy-tow (and dinghy) behind it! In digging through the pile of spare parts in my basement that I inherited with the boat four years ago, I have found the original dinghy-tow equipment that had been removed to allow for transom core repair prior to my purchase.
Although I had never met Bahama Bruce (we are the third owners), it’s nice to see our boat having such a good time in her youth. She is now enjoying a comfortable retirement easily cruising the Maine coast after 17 or so years of extended travel.
Now…do I reinstall the dinghy-tow?

I have a hard dinghy, so most of these systems don’t work for me, but I kind of like the Dinghy-Tow, http://www.dinghy-tow.com/

I’ve looked at the Edson dinghy stern rack, but I’m concerned about two things. Depending on the size of the dinghy, what happens when you heel? With the dinghy that close to the stern rail, where do you mount the rack for the dinghy outboard?Just some thoughts.Jay>From: Bob Frew <rfrew@…>>Reply-To: freedomyachts2003@yahoogroups.com>To: freedomyachts2003@yahoogroups.com>Subject: Re: [freedomyachts2003] Re: Stern Rack for Inflatable>Date: Sun, 12 Mar 2006 05:16:45 -0800 (PST)>>Dear Willie,>>It is an edson product and you can search under the>name or you can see it at sailnet for 271 or defender>for 289.
