To some extent your decision should be affected by the nature of your cruising grounds. Don't know anything about Turkey or the eastern Med. However, I have raised and lowered a dinghy from the top deck in all conditions. For a couple my recommendation is a RIB, an inflatable with a hard bottom. The physical force necessary to keep the dinghy from swinging in a rolling anchorage tests my wife. We have an 11' RIB and open side decks so we don't normally have to worry about the dinghy smashing into the windows. In North American terms if you are cruising on the ICW with protected anchorages with little roll, the heavier hard sided dinghy would work. If you are in more open waters you may have a difficult time. In the southern Caribbean - which has open water anchorages - we have met a number of couples with larger dinghies for their trawler who cannot raise or lower the dinghy in rougher conditions. Two that I can remember had small dinghies as back-ups to use in rougher conditions. Also in many of the anchorages in the Caribbean the dinghy is dragged up on shore. If this is something you will have to do then make sure you can move the dinghy by hand. Good luck Marty Campanella Bay Pelican KK42 Boat is on the hard in Trinidad
