Abstract: To simplify the manipulation of a dinghy between water and a storage location above high water mark, the dinghy is constructed so as to be circular when viewed in plan and is provided with pivotal means, such as a frusto-conical buoyant body having a bore, for receiving a handle whereby the dinghy can be rolled on its outer peripheral edge after the manner of a wheel, while being pushed, pulled and/or controlled by means of the handle. The handle may be in the form of a pole inserted by one end into the body and retained therein by rollers on radial stubs engaging with the undersurface of the dinghy floor. Other means, such as a peg loaded by a leaf spring engaging into a circumferential groove around the pole, may be provided for retaining the pole. An alternative form of handle arrangement may be in the form of a yoke providing arms which extend along each side of the dinghy and have respective pivot pegs engaging into the socket means from opposite ends thereof.
