Does anyone have any advice about towing an inflatable dinghy behind a Ranger Tug R-23? (Or towing water skis or tubes)?
 
10ft tru kit catamaran with motor up to 12 knots, without motor 17 knots. smooth water!
 
Speaking from experience - make sure you have floating line tied to your dinghy!! Also - be very cautious when back up.
 
Where did you tie the dinghy? On one of the cleats on the swim platform or a harness tied to both?
 
Swim step cleats, through eye on front of dinghy. Motor unattached to dinghy.
 
You might want to check your insurance. Ours will not cover the dinghy while it’s being towed. Too many claims I was told.
