		Dinghy sailing is the activity of sailing small boats by using the sails, adjustable centreboard, and tiller.
		While many dinghies are single handed (one person only) such as the Laser, many are double handed such as the Heron, Tasar or NS14 and some have more than 2 sailors.
		Sailing dinghies can be one design, virtually no difference between boats, or development classes like the International Moth which has gone from a wide hulled scow, to a thin hulled skiff and now with a hydrofoil based design competing.

	Mirror (dinghy) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Mirror is a highly successful pram dinghy, with more than 70,000 built.
		The Mirror was from the start promoted as an affordable boat, and it has probably done more than any other design to make dinghy sailing in the UK a sport available to anyone.
		The Mirror will never be the fastest boat on the water, or the most elegant, but it holds a special place in the affections of a large number of dinghy sailors.

		The 49er was chosen as the Olympic class high performance dinghy by the International Sailing Federation in 1996 following its evaluation against eleven of the best dinghies in the world.

	Bethwaite Design // How Starboard Products became Bethwaite Design (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The 49er was conceived during a convivial lunch in 1989 attended by Julian and Peter Johnstone (then of Laser/Sunfish) from Rhode Island.
		As interest in the 49er escalated, it became apparent that a training boat was required and so the 29er (actually thought of before the 49er but developed afterwards) took shape.
		The 49er requires knowledge of apparent wind sailing, tacking downwind with asymmetric spinnakers and boathandling skills that are not currently developed by traditional designs.

		Of the 11 classes in attendance, the B-14, Boss, 49er and 5000 were placed on the short list and asked to stay for an additional day of observation.
		The 49er is the fastest, the 5000 is the best established and the Boss might provide a more technical challenge with its readily adjustable rig, somewhat in the manner of a modern International 14.
		The 49er is undoubtedly the radical boat, bred from Bethwaite's years of 18-foot skiff sailing and design.

		ISAF president Paul Henderson brought to the table a motion that proposed voting for the eight non-contentious classes to be voted as a block, followed by debate and selection of the remaining two events, namely windsurfing and the single-handed dinghy women.
		Discussion then moved towards the windsurfing event, for which two options were brought to the table: The Mistral One-design and the Neil Pryde RS:X. The Neil Pryde RS:X was the recommended board by the ISAF Windsurfing Equipment evaluation panel and was also recommended by the Events, Women's Sailing and Executive Committees earlier in the week.
		Initially discussion was all about the ostensible facts that the ideal weight range for the laser radial was heavier than that required for the Europe.
