	Dinghy sailing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		The examples of such dinghies are the Flying Dutchman, the Fiveohfive (505), the Fireball, the Osprey, the Javelin and the 470.

	Dinghy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dinghies are usually rowboats or have a small outboard motor while others may use a small sailing rig.
		The typical sailing rig for a dinghy is that of a gunter with a two-piece folding mast stepped through a thwart and rested on the keel.
		A dinghy should not be able to scratch the mother-boat's paint, therefore a fender made from a length of heavy rope tied loosely to the outside of the bulwarks.

	Hostellers Sailing Club - Dinghy cruising
		Most dinghy sailors use their boats for racing, or just for pottering, which usually means sailing for an hour or two in one patch of water.
		No one would pretend that a dinghy is as comfortable (or should we say less uncomfortable) as a yacht for long sea passages, although the trailability of a dinghy may allow a sea passage to be avoided in the first place.
		Most dinghy cruisers sail within harbours and estuaries or within half a mile or so from the shore so do not need to plot a course on a chart or fix a position with multiple compass bearings, even if these were practical things to do on a small open boat.

	UK Boatlinks: Dinghy sailing
		The Dinghy Cruising Association is dedicated to the art and science of dinghy cruising - using a small boat under sail or power to explore the backwaters, cross seas and oceans, camp in splendid isolation or with others, cruise at leisure or make fast passage.
		The wayfarer is the ideal dinghy for beginners could also learn to sail, day-sail with the children, Cruise to adventure (some Wayfarer sailors tackle journeys 'big boat' cruisers would be wary of!), and race with spinnakers, at your local club or at open, national and international events with one of the most competitive fleets around.
		Its sailing dinghys are specifically developed for a carefully defined user group from young sailors looking for that first step, fun sailors looking for weekend excitement, club sailors wanting to become part of the largest racing classes up to Olympic sailors who demand and expect the best.
