How to go ashore with a RIB on a rocky shore?

[Evergreen]

Hello:

Here is a question for you RIB owners who sail in the north.

I have long been a proponent of hard dinghies since I sail in the north where there are rocky shores. When we go ashore we simply pick up the dinghy and carry it over the rocks to a point above the tide line and tie it to something.

However, I have been thinking of doing more dinghy exploration (not just going ashore) so I am considering the purchase of a RIB and a motor. Several full time cruisers also recommended the RIBs (however they sail in the south where there are sandy beaches).

My question is: What does one do with their RIB when they go ashore on a rocky shore. The RIB and motor is too heavy to carry. I know folks landing on sandy shores often have wheels (and other devices) on the stern of the dinghy. But what is done on a rocky shore? Do you just anchor it out with a line also going to shore? Or is there another solution? You can't just let an inflatable boat to rub and bounce around the rocks as the tide comes in --- or what do you do if the tide goes out and leaves you high and dry?

This may sound like a silly question yet if we go to the expense of the significant investment in a RIB, then we would like to preserve it as much as possible.

Thanks for your input.
