holes and sinks, it will take the dinghy with it.
Unless you can untie or cut the painter really fast. In the midst of the
emergency when you're trying to figure out what happened, where the water is
coming in, if there is
Knife sounds good. I keep one in a plastic holster attached to the binnacle.
