Description
Green dinghy in Rockport by Jeff Folger. A green dinghy is tied up in Rockport harbor waiting for a lobsterman's return so he can get back to shore from his mooring. The small boats are often carried on a larger boat or it's left tied up on a floating buoy called a mooring. When the working boat (or pleasure boat) returns from being out on the ocean, the captain and crew will use the smaller boat to return to shore. There are all sizes and shapes of dinghys from row boats to prams to whalers. Sometimes they have a small outboard motor on board or just a pair of oars to get back to the wharf or docks. A dinghy should have a strong ring on the bow. The ring secures the painter (the line that anchors the boat to a dock), and is used for towing and anchoring. Ideally, the dinghy should also have two other rings (one on each side of the stern transom) which, with the bow ring, are used for lifting and securing the dinghy for stowage.
