Hi Deb!
I presume your dink is a RIB?
This is the set-up on my Nonsuch 22. I don’t know the brand of the brackets
attached to the boat and the transom. The boat came with it.
You mean moving the running rigging blocks from the mast to the cabintop? No, I don’t think you’ll want to do that. Or even can do that and maintain a functional rig.
Oh, no…not a redesign of the running rigging or their turning blocks or fairleads. just elevate the dinghy with mounting blocks just high enough to clear the running rigging. Maybe 2”?? nothing more.
It seems to me that the blocked view is the only downside so far for storing the dinghy on the cabin top.
No one has mentioned interference with the sail when sweeping across the deck as she tacks or jibes. A lot of folks are advocating for a stern swim platform mounting. And it seems a proven solution. My concerns about that are:
the weight on the stern causing squatting
filling the dinghy by a following sea.
Great photos, Norm! Ty!
Do you have issues with squatting or a following sea filling the dinghy?
