When maneuvering under power in close quarters, do you have to account for prop-walk in reverse?
Thanks to everyone who sent in answers to last week’s survey on how to manage and carry a dinghy when sailing offshore. Not surprisingly, 98% of readers do have a way of carrying their dinghy out of the water when sailing offshore. 57% of those who replied have davits and 39% hoist the dinghy on deck, primarily the foredeck. Asked if you have a preference for a way to carry a dinghy when sailing offshore, 44% said in davits, 39% said on deck and 17% said in a dinghy garage underf the cockpit.
