The Sailing Dinghy : An Intro

The generic term 'saling dinghy' can be used to refer to many kinds of small open boat with a sail. This can range from a 6 ft pram dinghy for one person through to large clinker-built naval craft. Materials used in their construction also vary enormously and boats may be found built from plywood, GRP, plastic, composite or traditional timber on frames.
