All along the northeast coast, from Newport to Nova Scotia, there are charming harbors that beckon you with names such as Sorrento, Friendship, Roque Bluffs, Seal cove, Fishers Landing, and Birch Harbor. Dinghies are a mainstay of these harbors. These small boats, including prmas, skiffs, and tenders, can be very rudimentary in their design or works of exceptional craftsmanship.
