They sell lightweight pants made of ripstop nylon that are zippered so you can convert them to shorts, they dry quickly when wet and are available at Columbia sportswear. The pants should help otherwise use a towel. Thank you. I, of course, have some. My commodore is more driven by fashion over function. I also don’t break out when coming into contact with the dinghy. I’m certain it’s because of her repeated exposure, over the course of 2 decades as pediatric oncology nurse, to various rubbers. It’s hard for me to find fault in anything that brings pleasure to someone who surrounds herself with kids fighting cancer. If she’d rather look “cute” riding in the dinghy, or snorkeling, I will endeavor to solve the problem. A dedicated towel perhaps, with a specific pattern on one side so that I always know which side faces the dink. A cutout for the handle, and a ladder to keep from rubbing on her way in

I know someone who had the same issue. They would bring about a 6 foot length of rubber backed carpet runner to toss over one of the dinghy tubes. A large welcome mat might even work. The rubber backing keeps it from sliding around the dinghy tubes. https://www.amazon.com/iCustomRug-Indoor-Outdoor-Utility-Berber/dp/B074PZTH37/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=1AN9DWZFZHVJM&keywords=carpet+runners+for+hallway+6+ft&qid=1565709653&s=gateway&sprefix=Carpet+runner%2Caps%2C208&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUFLVDFUSUhXSFA4TFkmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTAwNzk1NzlPVlI2QU5CQ1Y1QlkmZW5jcnlwdGVkQWRJZD1BMDUxMjgxNjJRQjRWQVhaUThTSE8md2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl G

Impossible to confuse the sides, a razor knife would easily make a place for the handle to stick out. The backing would keep it from slipping—helping to avoid a comedy of errors as she climbed back in from snorkeling. Easy enough to clean and hang overnight to dry. 🤔
