[C320-list] It's a dinghy, a fiendish dinghy

[Robert Seastream]

We have an 8hp Honda (to deal with current enroute to mooring) that 
weighs about 90 pounds.  Add about 50 pounds of dinghy and I don't 
think the stern rail would like that combined weight.  Darn.  It was 
looking good for long trips; we wouldn't bring it along on a weekender. 
  Oh, well.
