[C320-list] Dinghy on Garhauer Davits

[Scott Thompson]

What's a practical limit on length/width/weight of a dinghy to carry on 
the Garhauer davits?  I'm thinking of getting a Zodiac Cadet with high 
pressure inflatable keel/floor.  The question is how big, and what size 
motor.  The 11 foot model has substantially greater payload than the 10 
footer, but I'm a bit concerned about either towing or hauling a dinghy 
that big on davits.  The dealer is recommending a 6 hp engine either 
way, and points out that you go from 4 people to 5+1 with the extra foot 
of length, at minimal $$$ and weight.  With our new dog I need to find a 
faster / easier way to get ashore than our current method (rowing).  We 
often sail with four or five on board, plus dog now.
