	Power Dinghy Racing Club - Short History
		The Dinghy Touring Club was formed in 1977 from a loose grouping of Avon Descent competitors in the southern suburbs of Perth, Western Australia, a larger group of racers in the northern suburbs and persons already involved in the "Loyal Swan Bathtub Society".
		Many of the earlier races were abandoned for various reasons (inability to get official permission, lack of interest) and other races took their place.
		The Club's newest river race is The River Race, held on the upper Blackwood River since 1998, and scheduled midway between the Avon Descent and the Blackwood Classic 250.

	Dinghy sailing at AllExperts
		Dinghy sailing is the activity of sailing small boats by using (1) the sails and (2) underwater foils (centreboard and rudder).
		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.
		Racing is one of the most popular forms of dinghy sailing, and it contributes to the development of sailing skills as well as to improvements in dinghy and sail construction and design.

	Dinghy racing (Site not responding. Last check: )
		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 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.
		In older texts on dinghy racing it is not uncommon to see these classes referred to as one-designs.

	All about dinghy racing and sailing, development classes and the dinghy racing handicap system-Portsmouth yardstick
		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.
		Most races and regattas are organised based on a class of dinghy, and within the class there may be several divisions such as Masters (older sailors), Ladies and Juniors.
		Races involving mixed fleets (different classes of boat, different ages, weights and abilities of sailors) can be organised on a handicap basis.

	Input wanted re: new dinghy - SailNet Community (Site not responding. Last check: )
		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.
		If you may be looking to race, down the road, then you need to look around where you are to see what people are racing, and get one of those.
		If you take to racing and like it, you''ll be able to sell your boat and get a newer/faster one if you need to.
