 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.
