Ontario 32
I cannot tell you how pleased I am with my new Dinghy-Tow having sailed across Georgian
Bay to the North Channel this July with my 13 year old nephew as crew, I was able to test
your Dinghy-Tow system through the full range of sailing conditions. Whether sailing the
open lake in breaking four foot seas or motoring through busy channels, I always knew the
dinghy was secure. Yet the moment the anchor was down, it was fun to see how fast we could
get the dinghy clear for quick exploration or a little fishing. With a little more
practice I found that I could both release and hook up the dinghy by myself with the same
sense of security and efficiency.
Having towed dinghies for 20 years, capped by a year doing the intercoastal waterways to
the Bahamas, I have experienced the gamut of dinghy towing horror stories. At the approach
to Block Island Sound in a rip tide and near gale conditions, I had my inflatable flip
over and break free. On the Chesapeake Bay I had the dinghy doing 360 degree rotations
behind the boat as we weathered a severe storm. Out in the middle of Georgian Bay I once
towed a half-submerged dinghy with my knife at the ready to cut it adrift. Those days are
over thanks to Dinghy-Tow.
Yours Truly,
