Wasn't it mentioning that the tender was outside the boat, suggesting that the tender's hull door was open? Maybe I read wrong.

I used to have a unballasted 15' Chrysler Mutineer...Damn, it was a lot of fun. Taught me quite a bit about how a monohull reacts to various forces. Only 150 sq. ft. of sail with main & jib, I forget how much the spinnaker added...being unballasted, it's swing keel gave little righting effect unless the boat was moving. Might add a little weight lower down. Anyway, experience gained in the dinghy aided me a lot in understanding how larger sailboats functioned. One thrill a larger boat can't deliver is popping up onto a plane under sail...gawd, I loved it! Hcole's pics brought back memories...I've made all the goofs. Got pretty good at getting the boat back upright after a swim.
