dinghy

Seeker carries two boats. The smaller boat, referred to as the dingy or the “Wee Whaly” is stowed on the cabin top and launched and recovered using the deck crane. The dinghy is Seeker's connection to shore while the vessel remains anchored. It carries crew, supplies, and equipment through water too shallow or confined for Seeker. It is 13 feet long and so can be used at restrictive dingy docks like those in Key West.
