How to launch a dingy from the deck of a sailboat.

1. Put on rain-gear if raining
2. Don life preservers
3. Lower the stern platform
4. First Mate, at the forward helm, open the clutch of the red halyard
5. Captain, unclip halyard from the foredeck, then,
6. Loosen the halyard to attach to the nose-ring of the dingy
7. First Mate, wrap the working end of the halyard around the winch
8. First Mate, winch the halyard to hoist the dingy nose up off the deck
9. Captain does a dingy dance to maneuver it up and over the life lines along the side of the boat
10. First Mate, release the halyard and slowly lower the dingy into the water
11. First Mate, retrieve the dingy oars from the storage below
12. Captain, maneuver the dingy with the halyard line to the stern of the boat and secure it
13. First Mate, retrieve the dingy anchor from the lazarette and put into the dingy which is now secured to the stern of the sailboat.
14. Oars are loaded and then passengers.

If not exhausted, dingy is now launched and ready for adventures to shore or other boats by oar power.  To attach the outboard motor is a whole nother story.
