I have stowed my inflatable on the fordeck of my LF38 during the winter also.
It is an Achilles 280 RIB. I have sailed with it there, but the hub sheets can
get tangled and it is a royal PITA to go forward. I sailed to Hawaii with a
hard she'll dinghy lashed to the fore deck of a 35 Ericson. Once again ROYAL
PITA. No other choice there. FWIW

Stus-List Dinghy on fordeck
John — over the last winter I purchased new Mercury 280 Hypalon RIB for my boat
(to replace the 20-year-old Seaworthy 9.2 wooden-floor dinghy, which was
starting to slow-leak…), and I put it up on the foredeck to store out of the
water between sailing weekends. There’s no way I could sail with it up there;
it would foul both the genny and the sheets. I could always deflate it, but
that would just add time when we got out into the islands. So we tow it behind
when leaving the marina, and hoist it back on deck when we’re ready to leave
the boat after a trip out.
Given the shape of the foredeck (narrow and pointy), the cabin top and the
length of your rowing dinghy, I’m not sure I can imagine how you’d make it work.

Any owners of 38 Landfall or any other C&C, keep/store their tender on the
foredeck. I am thinking of having Chocks made that at minimum, I can keep a
rowing wood tender thats 10 ft long on the foredeck. Not sure about while under
sail. Thoughts?
Thanks
