Worlds best dinghy!!!

[Sabot_sailor01]

Im asking what everybody thinks the perfect boat would be like??? Measurements, speed, crew, sail area, everything you can think of that would make it good

Singlehander:

Finn - win anything major in a Finn and you're a legend, your name tied to the annals of dinghy racing.

other notable single handers:

International Moth

International Contender

Musto Performance Skiff

Laser (yes, really...)

Optimist

OK

Doublehanders:

505 - without doubt the best dinghy ever

 

[Trustmeimastomach]

12ft skiff.

 

[Lifesave]

Sailing Canoe. Racing for the second oldest trophy. Lots of designs by legends for the unfit and lesser skilled. If you want to get back to dingy roots go IC, AC, or the newest and greatest DC.

Boats and Guns are like Golf clubs different ones for different jobs. Or at least that's the excuse I give to female folk in my life. My 18ft cedar strip canoe was perfect for getting wilderness miles under my belt but only sailed downwind loaded with gear(suicide without). My Dad's Shark catamaran was perfect for Partying , Sunbathing Ladies and getting laid as a young man(But I wish it had a cabin.) Sunfish Fj Hobie 1 It really didn't matter just so long as the boats were exactly alike for Racing against my Dad. My free craigslist Mac Dingy is so cool I can't wait to find one or two more.

The Wolds Best Dinghy is the one you want to sail and enjoy. Everything else is simply BS, bragging and personal opinion.

This one.

1. You can tell it's going to be fast

2. It's never capsized

3. It's perfectly dry

4. It has no quirks or nasty habits

5. It keeps headed in the same direction, even if I don't touch the helm

6. It even smells nice

Of course, then I will launch it...

A mono-molecular carbon epoxy hull that is tough as a tank but half of the weight and price of an Aero with kite, trap, and deploy-able foils.

Sorry, were we being serious?
