The Bottom Liner company in Long Beach, CA charges over $500.00 for a "bath" to protect a dinghy-in-the-water. I built this one for my Watertender 9.4 with 3" plumbing pipe and a plastic tarp for under a hundred. It's 9' by 4'.



Here I am underway with Simon's self-tacking set up on port and starboard tacks. Close hauled with the tiller bungeed, it held a course for over twenty minutes without correction.
