Hey Thierry! Crossed through Curlews wake, under sail and towing a dinghy! 
In Response To: Hmmm, I always wondered what my boat would look like ()
() We were short tacking Westerward through the Fox Island Thoroughfare, Curlew was riding the light southerly Eastward. There were many boats sailing through, I believe there is a trend underway. 
If you have internet access, were you heading east? Where are are sailing out of? Curlew is a beauty, Jon has a good eye.

- It's no wonder davits are popular these days.
- I've always towed, inflatable or hard dink
- Drag of a dingy
- Would love to have davits
- Geez, don't get me started on freakin' davits... (grin)
- Hey Jon...what ever happened to that summer cruise??
- Jon, less the "SUV," what other means could one use...
- I've used both a hard rowing dinghy and a small inflatable with 2hp...
- Reason I am especially interested is I am about to purchase...
- Do you want to zoom or to mosey? I'm gettin' old so less weight to horse around is best from my perspective.
- My only reason to "zoom" would be for distance.
- The power is nice

- Actually, it worked really well...
- With boats as small as ours, I think the desire for "more power" becomes limiting, in the end…

- No Davits for us!

- Towing a boat just looks sloppy.
- Increased engine load and fuel costs without davits
- Davits
- I always tow my dinghy, but unless I am only going a couple of miles the motor comes off
- You'd have to pry my davits away from my cold dead hands
- There it is. Most miles sailed are with the drag of a dinghy in tow.
