My inflatable is about the same size. I just attach a halyard to the painter, lift the bow and keep going until the dinghy is over the lifelines. I lay it across the foredeck for deflating. More often than not, it's lifted to pour off accumulated rain water... faster to lift and dump than to pump it out.Cathy Monaghan wrote:[We just rig a harness to the dinghy, bring it amidships (next to the shrouds) and hoist it up using a halyard.

We've done that too (no harness, just the halyard) -- depends on how lazy we are. For a harness we use the dinghy painter plus two short dock lines.
