BLUEMOMENT

I have tried deflating the dinghy an sticking it down the quarter berth. Not so good if it's salty wet.
I had a go strapping in down in front of the mast but occasionally the jib sheets catch when tacking so I don't like that much.
The towing close up so only the aft tips drag in the water looked good until the thing flipped in a wind and turned into a drogue.
The exhaust comes out of the transom so I don't think strapping it across the stern is an option.
Davits on a Centaur look a bit OTT.
Are there any other options?

Won't it fit deflated abaft the mast? That's the only practical option on Silkie when towing is not sensible.

It might do but the gap between the kicker and the hatch garage/solar panel isn't so large.

Mine sits on top of the hatch garage. Solar panel indeed!

I used to sail on a centaur where the owner had it half deflated on the coachroof.
No rigid transom on it. It seemed fine and stopped some spray.

To avoid the jib sheets catching on things (VHF cable, etc.) I have a line lied between the mast and the fore hatch.

If it's got a transom, fit a bridle from each quarter to the painter so the tow pressure is applied at the back, leaving just a little correction if necessary at the prow. The dink will tow nicely and won't flip.

Will try that Sahona.

Might try towing it backwards too.

Thanks for the suggestions folks.

Can it go on the foredeck, ahead of the coachroof?
