Our first dinghy was a small, two-person one that could conveniently fit on the foredeck inflated. We quickly learned that a small, dinghy, overloaded with groceries and fuel cans, trying to make it out to an anchorage in high winds and a choppy sea can be a death trap. So we changed to a four person top of the line model with a good inflatable keel. It is stable in the choppiest of seas and with our outboard motor there is no chance of being tempted to overpower it. If we think that we will need it in the near future we tow it, if not we store it in its bag on the foredeck. It is a Zodiac – Cadet Fast Roller Act-V with an under seat stowage compartment. New in 2012.
