M_Boats: a couple dinghys

i have had great luck with porta botes as my dinghys on a variety of small craft. they fold into nothing and can fit inside little boats. they are very sturdy, my kids drag them across rocks and cliffs, slam them into rocks etc... and other than a few scrapes, the hold up. my latest, which is a little big for a montgomery, is a 12 foot, which always towed well. they are light and plane easily. i may build a 6 foot version of this for my monty: http://www.duckworksbbs.com/plans/origami/dinghy/index.htm. its nice to have a boat that kids can use on sailing trips. sincerely, greg monty 17
