 Dinghy racing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
Some development classes (National 12 (dinghy) and Merlin Rocket (dinghy) are good examples) have tightly controlled rules which keep the boats closely competitive while allowing the owner to customise the boat to their preferences and weight.
