The dinghy and its sidekick, the outboard engine, are a necessity when you are out cruising in your sailboat. But, there is the challenge of where and how to store both of them when it is time to move. In this video we show you a hands-on view of the lessons we have learned when it comes to managing your dinghy. We discuss the various options and give demonstrations on the equipment needed and the proper procedure for hoisting your dinghy and outboard.
If you are curious about other how-to tips on boating techniques, be sure to check out the other videos in our ‘Boat Basics’ and ‘Boat Anchoring 101’ series, as well as our many other how to videos on such topics as varnishing, engine maintenance and boating safety. We also regularly publish sailing adventure videos from onboard our Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 440 ‘Sea Rose’ as we sail throughout Europe and the Mediterranean.
