Bill,
We are seriously considering the Highfield CL310. How and where do you secure your dink when underway?
With best regards,

James,
Highfield and 3D Tender are made in the same factory and share designs and material.
You most likely will see 3D Tender in Europe.
I bought the 3D Tender brand in Martinique...Size is 310cm with a storage locker in the bow.

Ian,
I am looking for a dinghy for my Maramu and the 260 UL sounds interesting. Would you know if the aft cabin top on the Santorin is longer or shorter than the one on the Maramu? My boat has a track for the mizzen boom that is a few inches forward of the aft end of the cabin whereas I believe that your track is on the aft deck.
Did you get the Hypalon or the PVC fabric? I am wondering how long the powder coated aluminum will last, i.e. will it outlast the PVC fabric under constant useage?
The dinghy is amazingly light at 64 lbs..
Best, James

Mark, For all passages of any length whatsoever: The 310cm & 320cm will fit upside down on the mizzen deck with the aft tubes against the starboard rail and lying at an angle with the bow of the dinghy against the aft port mizzen shroud. This position allows use of the starboard mizzen mid halyard to raise the dinghy with the electric main winch after you have used the same to raise the outboard motor. Access to the rear of the boat can be made on the port side faux-teak deck and the port side is sufficient for anything you want to do. The mizzen traveller is 100% free to travel from starboard to port. The only issue is deck connection of the mizzen boom preventer is blocked. A piece of line tied to the starboard chainplate is an easy solution. Best, Bill BeBe 387 On Thu, Jun 30, 2016 at 11:16 AM, 'Mark Erdos' mcerdos@... [amelyachtowners] <amelyachtowners@...> wrote:
