MrEZ - thanks for the trip reports! We'll be on Abby Normal To starting 11 Nov for two weeks. We'll keep an eye out for you.
Regarding your dinghy, have you tried hooking it up the opposite direction? It was probably set up for a different boat. If that doesn't work just adjust the bridles.
Good suggestion. Initially I thought the dinghy would then simply list away rather than towards the boat's stern, but since it does not hang freely that may not be the case.
It is possible, however, that it would then hang bow-down, because the davit lines with the snap hooks are unequal in length. I'll give it a shot.
