catalina27-talk: dinghy dock

[Jeffery L. Sheler]

Much to my disappointment, my marina does not provide a dock or 
storage rack for dinghies, nor does it permit storing them on any of 
the main docks. So I keep it tethered in my slip just in front of my 
sailboat. We like to use it fairly often to motor around the marina 
and vicinity, which is another reason why we keep it in the water. 
The result is that unwanted marine life tends to grow on the hull at 
a pretty steady pace. I'm thinking of building (or buying if it's 
cheap enough) a floating mini dock which I would keep in my slip to 
keep the dinghy up out of the water, something along the lines of 
those floating ramps for PWCs (which are way too expensive for my 
budget). Has anyone made or seen anything like this that is a) not 
too ugly and b) relatively easy and inexpensive to build or buy?
