A dinghy is towed from the stern of a sailboat or power boat with the stern of the dingy and associated motor forward and raised from the water. An associated towing mechanism includes a pair of rigid tubular members which are connected between the stern of the boat and the transom of the dinghy. Pivot connections permit upward and downward pivoting of the tubular members relative to the boat and permit pivoting of the dinghy upwardly and downwardly relative to the tubular members. A pair of rope lines support the tubular members against downward pivoting. The lines are releasably retained against paying out by a pair of line retainers adapted for installation on a pre-existing rail commonly mounted at the stern of many boats. An additional line permits the bow of the dinghy to be raised from the water and pivoted upwardly against the stern of the boat thereby permitting both dinghy and motor to be stored entirely removed from the water. The mechanism incidentally permits the motor of the dinghy to be conveniently removed to the boat.
