It probably rows better than an inflatable, since it is a rigid
dinghy and less energy is lost to the flexing of the boat. The material may not be well UV-stabilized, so covering the
dinghy is probably a good and cheap precaution to take.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
