Renting or buying a sailing dinghy

idiotinakayak · 06-12-2018, 12:03 PM

I've been preparing for a year or so to buy a Laser or RS Aero or similar tiny single-handed sailing dinghy and sail it on the lake.

But before I pull the trigger...

The truth is, I don't want to own a dinghy. I've got a trailer but I come from far away and I'd rather not tow anything. I only come to the lake once or twice a year and I don't have a good place to store the dinghy off-season.

Last year I called every boat yard and sailing club I could think of to see if any of them rent dinghies, but no.

So before I buy one, I wanted to ask you fine people: Does anyone know where I can rent a single-handed sailing dinghy for use on Winnipesaukee? Or is there some other option that can save me from being a boat owner?

Thanks!
