M_Boats: keeping a hard dinghy /montgomery 6'8"

I have a Mongomery 6'8" and it rows fairly well. If you are rowing by yourself, put a little weight in the stern. Another solution at anchor is: 1. set up your spinnaker pole on your stay, just above the deck 2. suspended it from a topping lift or haylard 3. tie a line to the part extended over the water (one runs forward, the other aft) 4. attach a block to the part that extends over the water and run a long line from it to the bow of your dinghy and then back to the boat 5. attach a line aft on the dinghy 6. by adjusting the two lines you can keep the dinghy out from the boat and pull it in when you want. 7. the 6'8" works great with this set up. (I have done this many times while anchored on my Flicka. Bert Felton
