It is often hard to find enough space for one let alone two dinghies. So when this motor yacht passed us in Falmouth Harbor in the UK we grabbed the long lens.

The sailing dinghy is sitting on an elevated frame, over the door into the salon. The framework is designed so chocks can be easily changed.

There are a couple of considerations here:

• The height of the storage platform will make it a little awkward to use in anything but smooth water.
• The lifting boom needs enough clearance above the elevated dink for the bridle and halyard blocks.
• The weight of the dinghy sitting high is a hit on vertical center of gravity.

In a lot of situations this approach could make sense.
