Ah ok. You are now less manly than we thought and back to mere mortal. But you’re mere mortal with a 40’+ Carver/Chris Craft so I’d guess you’ll be alright.

Um, that is the putting about boat attached to my 74’ Hatteras. Don’t short me man!

 

[McDad]

They’re pretty manly then. That’s a semi rigid dingy with outboard and center console. We’re not throwing a 10’ sunfish over the side and calling it good.

@Y9 Vol from looking at that nav and weather gear on the radar bridge she’s clearly blue water capable. Jealous... that’s a sweet rig.

All in favor of Y9 hosting a Vol watch party on his mega yacht this season for the lovable rabble in the PF, say, "aye"?

There is a boom up there. Just can’t see it from that angle.

Ah I see the boom now. Tucks down nicely by the dingy. Very cleanly rigged man. Nice.

Oh Hatteras ok. That was guess three my bad. And I can’t tell length from that angle she’s clearly bigger than 40’ which is why I put the + didn’t mean to short change you sorry. Wouldn’t have guessed 70+ though. Very nice.

Thanks!
Like I said, we have taken her down to Atlantis in the Bahamas. We are taking her up to Cape Cod this summer to see my daughter in Boston.

I have the best captain in all of Charleston.

Your doctor can help with the semi rigid problem.

And most dingies have two outboards instead of one. Just sayin...

I’m guessing... you?

I do see the 10’ sunfish or sailboard/rowing skiff stowed by the dingy though!

Nope...I am not licensed

 

[NorthDallas40]

Nope...I am not licensed

Oooooohhhh. Now I get it. It’s so big it’s classified as a commercial vessel (or something like that). Now I really am jelly.

The other option is the water will get to the dinghy when the big boat goes down.

You have experience with semi-rigid dingys?

Anything over 70' is just compensating.

Does your insurance make you have a licensed captain?

I have a 6 pack license..... and I'm cheap.

 

[lawgator1]

Yes Sir

I’d guess it’s USCG regs and international maritime requirements

Big time!

None that I'm aware of unless you charter.

 

[hog88]

Big time!

I so want to compensate when I grow up.

Just wait until this guy comes knocking
