I don't know how great they could sail, but Hartge's has a bunch of dingys for sale at about $200. There is a rack on the right as you go into the marina just before the office. Check 'em out. One of them has a center board trunk. Any of them would make a fine hard dink.

The deal is that if there is an unidentified dingy on the racks it goes up for auction.
