and carried it on my foredeck ( CL35) without problem. Then the kids kept growing... As Tom says it was too small but it rowed and towed great. I then built a 11 ft Spindrift nesting dinghy. It carried a ton, rowed great and was a fun sailer. It was too big to bring on deck and we found the nesting feature to be severely over-rated and inconvenient. We only used it to store the dink in the winter! Needless to say we towed it and on its last trip we towed, swamped,lost and eventually recovered it from the CG (albeit, quite damaged) I now have an inflatable with sectional aluminum floors ( a Seabright hypalon) and an old 2.5 Johnson. Stores on deck or below, works fine, I'm happy. I do miss the rowing though and threaten to bring the Nutshell just for me to row.
