I have a Minto dinghy that is over 30 years old. It has survived an inordinate amount of abuse, dragging across rocks, etc. and it keeps on ticking.
Not only do Mintos row well, but they sail well, too.
I have a custom large-roach, fully-battened sail for my Minto from Lidgard sailmakers, that works great.
The Minto is the standard against which other dinghies are judged.
