sailing dinghy

A sailing dinghy is a small, lightweight boat designed for sailing, typically powered by a single sail. These boats are often used for recreational purposes, racing, and training because they are easy to handle and maneuver. Dinghies usually carry one or two people and can be steered with a rudder and controlled with ropes for the sail. They are popular in lakes, rivers, and coastal waters, providing an accessible way for people to enjoy sailing, develop skills, and engage in friendly competition. Various designs exist, catering to different skill levels and sailing conditions.
