Lift raft - Harvest Moon and other offshore / coastal racing

[Chris P]

Last time I did the race and others, including a Gulf crossing, it was in a multi-hull that wouldn't sink. My new, used boat, will sink (monohull). So the question: What is the general consensus for life rafts? I don't have one, but I do have an inflatable dinghy. But at just over 10' long and almost 5' wide it is a tad large to tie to the foredeck. Plus, it is heavy. What does everyone use? Has everyone gone out and bought one (life raft)? Anyone have a source for rentals? Anyone want to buy my inflatable - I'll send pics.

What brand name dingy do you have and is it a rigid hull?
Aasking price?

Dear Other Woman....
I sold it.  Bought a smaller one to do double duty as a life raft.
