  Albacore (dinghy) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Albacore is a 4.5m (15 ft) planing dinghy developed in 1954 from an Uffa Fox design.
By 2005 over 8,000 Albacores have been built and the class is actively raced in England, the United States and Canada.
The Class has a biannual world championship with the venue alternation between the three key countries where the class is sailed.

 Dinghy racing - Wikpedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Dinghy racing has also been influential in efficiently developing all aspects of the modern dinghy, including hull design, sail materials and sailplan, and techniques such as planing and trapezing.
Sailing dinghies compete on an international, national, state, association, club and class basis, using the ISAF International Racing Rules of Sailing, which are revised every four years.
Sailing dinghies can be one-design, with virtually no difference between boats and strict rules controlling construction, or development classes like the International Moth which has gone from a wide-hulled scow, to a thin-hulled skiff and now to a hydrofoil-based design.

 Heron (dinghy) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Heron Dinghy is a dinghy designed by Jack Holt of the United Kingdom as the Yachting World Cartopper (YW Cartopper).
The Heron dinghy was designed to be built by a home handyman out of marine ply over a timber frame.
They are mainly used as adult/child racing dinghies, and as the children grow, some families end up with two Herons on a double trailer, but they are now rarely seen transported on car rooves.

 Byte (dinghy)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The Byte is a cat rigged dinghy sailboat produced by PS2000.
The traveler is just below the main sheet block and not at the stern of the boat (similar to a Finn or Europe dinghy).
This eradicates the chance of the main sheet getting caught on the transom which is a common complaint of the Laser.

 Go Sail ! - information about sailing and racing the albacore sailing dinghy
Designed by Uffa Fox in 1954, the Albacore is a great first boat for those who are just learning to sail and a very competitive racer for more advanced sailors.
The Albacore's rig uses swept spreaders supporting a tapered mast, a powerful vang, and adjustable jib halyard and other sail controls to depower in high winds - enabling both light and heavy crews to race head to head in all but the most extreme conditions.
The Albacore is a boat that is both simple to get into at first, and one which will challenge your tuning and tactical skills for the rest of your life.

 Outer Harbour Centreboard Club
Dinghies of those days were lapstrake or carvel-built and were heavy, leaky and difficult to maintain (aside from using the less efficient gaff or gunter rigs).
Members of south coast dinghy clubs together with Fairey Marine engineers tried to develop a 15' dinghy, one that could withstand the strong winds and steep seas experienced in the English Channel, and was light-weight, rugged and stable with a planing hull.
In spite of intense competition from other dinghy classes, the I 14 continues to fill a need for those of an inventive frame of mind, and for those who ask for top flight competition, free from the high-powered dramatics of the Olympic circus and the strict controls of purely one-design classes.

 Musto Skiff - Wikpedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
It was designed for the 2000 Olympic Class trials in Quiberon by Joachim Harpprecht where it won every race in the single-handed dinghy competition.
At the time of the design its concept of a single-handed skiff was a first and met scepticism by many observers, very similar to the initial reaction after introduction of the 49er in 1996.
Since then other single-handed skiff classes such as the RS700 have developed, bringing this kind of boat closer to mainstream dinghy sailing.
