[Rhodes22-list] Dinghy Selection

I am writing to ask the group for some advice and guidance on selecting the 
right dinghy for my new Rhodes. The options are basically tow-behind or 
inflatable. I have plenty of experience with a tow-behind. I do not want to 
deal with transport, maintenance, storage, engine and all the other hassles 
that accompany what is essentially a second boat.

I have been considering a two person inflatable, stowable kayak. One that 
keeps the center of gravity below water level like a traditional kayak and 
not the recently popular sit-on-top I see so much of. A kayak needs no 
engine, can handle distance easily and is relatively safe in rough water. 
The intended use would be to keep it stowed and inflate it only as needed.

It would be great to hear from someone who has successfully used one on 
their Rhodes and can provide some advice on making the right selection in 
make and model.

Thanks in advance for the help.
