In Response To: I keep my dinghy danforth in a container ()
We use it a lot mostly for beaching so it has to stay handy. Many dinghies are lost that way here with our tide, and that can turn into a real problem.
The other important piece in our dinghy is a spare oar lock. They can break. These days , kids all have iPhones.
