Which wooden dinghy to build and tow? How big is too big?
2024年1月14日 · A dinghy that big is not going to be welcome at dinghy docks especially if it looks like a standard power boat, but you can probably get away with it for short periods of time.

Which way does a dinghy heel when it turns? - Sailing Anarchy …
2024年7月14日 · Not a dinghy but the principal is the same.

Installing a "$tingy Sailor" DIY self-tacking jib system.
2023年9月16日 · I'd be installing it on a 15' day sailor/dinghy and would use the existing jib cars, cleats and fairleads to secure it, along with a few extra fairleads to guide the bridle in the right direction. I'd probably use both cars, not just the one-sided system shown in the diagram, so adjustments could be made from either side of the cockpit.
