In the January 04 issue of the magazine Cruising World, Senior Editor Darrell Nicholson reviewed 14 different hard dinghies used by cruisers today. Qualities such as stability, weight, rowing efficiency, towing, oars and bouyancy were discussed and compared.

The Minto owners we speak with regularly agree wholeheartedly and without exception love their boats whether used as a ships tender or at the cottage.
