Being short of cash, I had a hunt around for things to sell on the local trading/classified site. The GRP dinghy I bought over the winter was on the hit list of things to go. It had taken on water through a damaged keel since day one, but had recently got a lot worse, it was also really heavy and one of the gunwhales was coming adrift.
I went down to the harbour today to show it to someone that was interested. Didn't want it, but did help me get it out of the mud, up the stairs and onto my car roof rack. Thanks Doug. However, on reflection, I decided that it wasn't worth bringing it home to repair, so I pitched it straight off the roof rack and into the dumpster.
It did tow nicely and was good to row single handed, and it was handy to have a crappy dinghy I could leave at the harbour and not worry too much about. No regrets about dumping it though.
