A sailing dinghy is a small open boat propelled by sails and typically used for racing or recreational sailing. Most dinghies are between seven and twelve feet long, and the deck is usually open with no cover. Dinghies are typically made of lightweight materials such as fibreglass or wood. The rig of a dinghy typically consists of a mainsail, jib, and spinnaker. Dinghies are equipped with several sailing accessories, such as tiller, mainsheet, kickers, and cleats. It is important to note that dinghies require much more skill and experience to sail safely than larger yachts.
