		Dinghy sailing is the activity of sailing small boats by using (1) the sails and (2) underwater foils (centreboard and rudder).
		The Mirror Dinghy was predominantly build using stitch and glue, while the Heron is an example of a boat built using plywood on a timber frame.
		In many dinghy clubs in the UK the adult members are sometimes outnumbered by junior members, and the balance of activities can change from mainly racing to increasingly providing training courses.

	Sailing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, up until the adoption of the Racing Rules of Sailing, any vessel racing under sail was considered a yacht, be it a multi-masted ship-rigged vessel (such as a sailing frigate), a sailboard (more commonly referred to as a windsurfer) or remote-controlled boat, or anything in between.
		Sailboat racing ranges from single person dinghy racing to large boats with 10 or 20 crew and from small boats costing a few hundred dollars to multi-million dollar Americas Cup or Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race campaigns.
		Fenders should be pulled up outside ports, the flag of the host country should be shown, a boat should fly the yacht ensign of its nation of registry, flags are to be taken down at night, boats are to be referred to as female, a boat should not be named twice, etc.

		The Contender Class is truly International - as well as a strong UK fleet, there are fleets in Australasia, North America and right across Europe.
		The class rules permit construction in GRP, wood, and GRP/wood composite, and unlike many classes, all the build options are equally competitive: in recent years the World championship has been won by both GRP and all wood boats, and the 2002 European championship winning boat was a composite.
		The Contender is regarded by many dinghy sailors to be technically challenging to sail.

		This fabric has a high strength to weight ratio and is designed to withstand the leech loads experienced in dinghies while giving a reliable performance on the bias.
		This sailcloth is extensively used by leading helms in National and International Dinghies which are subject to high loads with stiff rigs such as the 5-0-5, Fireball and Flying Fifteen.
		Its slippery silicon finish makes it excellent material for dinghies fitted with spinnaker chutes and it was especially developed for the orbital/horizontal cut.

		What I'm looking for now is a smaller and lighter dinghy in the 12-15' range (under 150 lbs) which can be sailed in gusty and high wind conditions on inland lakes and can easily be righted and unturtled singlehandedly.
		I'm particularly attracted to dinghies which are are fast and maneuverable, but still reasonably stable in rough conditions, with excellent sail controls, and great manual and automatic depowering, ie, using an unstayed flexible masts such as the Megabyte.
		I've heard that there are modern small dinghies which can handle these conditions, and I suspect they have a more stable hull shape, flexible mast top, and either an easy to depower sail or reefable sail.

	Blank title :505 5o5 dinghy sailing
		Earlier this year the I.Y.R.U. issued an "open invitation" for classes wishing to be onsidered for selection for the year 2000 Olympics in the "dinghy, open, high performance" category and the Executive Committee stated that the applicants must conform to some "fundamental criteria".
		The I.Y.R.U. is obviously already aware of the strength and structure of the 505 Class and its choice to be the year 2000 two person dinghy, would, I have thought, been almost automatic, if only on the basis that the class so well fits the selection criteria.
		In conclusion and to support our classes claim to be the best contender for selection I offer the benefit of my own experience of over 30 years of dinghy racing.

		I had a Contender and it was a real blast in a wind.
		Another bonus for the contender: if you like it there are very very nice wooden boats, or only wooden deck.
		Basically to tack it (assuming non-self tacker), you simply blow the jib sheet and tack it as you would any other dinghy, but remember to throw the seat through as you start the tack.

		The cross section area is the same as the current alloy spars, but gust response from the upper section of the carbon mast is improved.
		Initially 0.7 kg corrector is fitter to the mast tip to allow for consistency with existing alloy sections in use, but it is probable that this will be relaxed within two seasons so that full advantage of the lightweight but stiff spar can be achieved.
