Dink for 25D

Post by Dan VanWinkle »

Looking for ideas and opinions (which should be easy to come by on this excellent net) on a dingy for my 25D "Bali Ha'i". I'm not too excited about trying to row an inflatable in any wind or chop (been there, done that) but realize it may be the best space wise. Would be very interested in plans, sources, experiences with nesting (two-piece)types. Maybe a nesting 7-footer would fit over the forward hatch. Might even make a neat winter project. Any nesting owners out there? dvw CD25D #69/

I am building the stitch-n-glue 8 footer (40 lbs) this winter.
