	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 built 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 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.

		Herons are an exciting sailing dinghy of 3.5m (11'3'') for crew of two designed by Jack Holt (who also designed the Mirror, GP14, Star and others).
		Herons are stable and easy to sail but also cater for the expert sailor with high level competition in boats of the one type.
		Herons are constructed in both timber and fibreglass and are able to be constructed at home from plans or purchased complete from authorised boat builders.

	The Heron sailing dinghy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The last concerted effort to contact NZ Heron owners was conducted in the early 1990's when it was found that most could not be contacted at their last known address.
		Very few, if any, Herons have been built in NZ in the last 25 years so it is likely that many have been destroyed or have decayed to the point that repair is uneconomical.
		A logical option for active NZ Heron owners would be to seek out opportunities to sail in company with owners of other sailing dinghies of similar size who are interested in expanding their understanding of design by seeing how dinghies of similar size but different design perform in the same conditions.

	All about dinghy racing and sailing, development classes and the dinghy racing handicap system-Portsmouth yardstick
		Dinghy racing is an extremely competitive sport which comes under the auspices of the International Sailing Federation.
		While many dinghies are single handed (one person only) such as the Laser, many are double handed such as the 470, 5O5, Heron, Tasar or NS14 and some have more than two sailors.
		Some classes allow children to sail double handed whilst other double handed boats are ideal for an adult and child like the Heron, while some such as the Tasar have weight restrictions which ensure they are sailed competitively by two adults or near adults.

	Australian 125 Sailing Dinghy - National Association
		Simon Grieg, trading as Blockey The Boat Builder of South Yarra, Victoria, and the franchise holder of the highly successful Mirror family of dinghies, saw the need to fill the gap between the Mirror 10 and the Mirror 16.
		During the winter of 1971, building instructions, class rules and a Constitution were drafted and in April of that year, No. 6 entered a Victorian Yachting Council One-of-a-kind race and was given a yardstick of 108 (this was lowered to 100 after competing at a Mornington One-of-a-kind in 1972, and is currently 122).
		The boat was marketed as a one design, low cost, family dinghy and each purchaser of a kit was given discount vouchers redeemable from the various component suppliers.

		As a dinghy the Heron is: compact, stable and easy to manage; has a roomy, comfortable cockpit, with a high boom; and as a family boat can take two adults plus two children.
		While most Herons were built purely with one-design racing in mind, that wasn't uppermost in Dad's mind.
		As Dad was often away interstate or overseas during those years, he set up the Heron, its trailer and jinker such that Mum could drive me out to the yacht club and I could rig and launch the Heron by myself.

	Dinghy Down the Keys
		She drew 18 inches and was of glassed strip-planking sided 1/2 inch, with no framing save an after bulkhead that formed the forward end of her watertight lazarette, and several floors that stiffened her and supported the floorboards.
		She was no racing model, but a husky, fat little dinghy with an entrance shaped to carry a load, yet with a sweet run to speed her along.
		Still, all things are relative, and sailing a dinghy in 2 or 3 feet of water yields danger and excitement that the big-boat sailor never encounters.

		If you nrmally race at the same club in the same conditions in a Heron, then your average position can be worked out fairly easily.
		This can then be turned into an average position in a race for a different class (assuming that the boats are fairly similar).
