I saw that the other day at WM while looking at Dinks and motors... I wondered... do tell more.

What size dink do you use? What sort of range do you get? How do you charge it.
Yes, I went to the website, but I want to hear this from a real user.
Can you plane with it?
Do tell more, please.
I like the idea of not having to carry gasoline... but I also don't generate a lot of electric power...
So don't hold back Todd, tell the tale.

- I really like having a 2:1 spinnaker halyard...
- Main, spin, and both jib halyards are all long enough to reach the water
- I think different issues, Gene
- Yes indeed, you are on the right track...
