I have a super-sharp serrated "net and line knife" made specifically for line that cuts anything very quickly, it lives on the binnacle. The dinghy is actually held by a large Harken cam cleat, with the end of the painter through the hole in a stanchion cleat and secured with a figure 8 stopper knot. In use (and this actually works), the painter is long enough for the excess to be tossed into the dinghy. From there, we can undo the figure 8 when we're ready, pull on that end, and it pops it out of the cam cleat. Because the painter is around the lower rail of the stern pulpit we can keep connected to the boat until there are no other options.
