How many people do the Great Loop without a dinghy?
We’re planning to do the Loop on our 41’ Europa Trawler.
I don’t want a dinghy on the swim platform since we normally board thru the transom door. I’ve got room on the upper deck for a dinghy, but I’d have to install a crane. We plan to anchor out some, but will probably spend most nights at a marina. Are there many moorings along the way, and what about shuttle services to and from the moorings? Don’t want to start out and then wish I had a dinghy, but if I really don’t have have one, I’ll spend the money on dockage.
Thoughts?
