A big part of why we ended up with a 60fter was what we needed the dinghy to be and do.

Decades of cruising with barely adequate dinghy's had us this time choosing the dinghy and then getting the boat that can carry it.

14 ft high sided wide beam alloy dory
30hp electric/pull start 2 stroke Suzuki
Stable enough that two of us can stand on one side
Light enough to be easily lifted on hand cranked davits.
Robust enough to punch 15 miles across the bay in a 20knot chop and return with a months worth of supplies.
