DINGHY SAILING
Learning in a dinghy is a great way to start sailing. Single-handers (boats sailed by one person) are a popular choice and can be the quickest way to learn due to being lightweight and easy to rig and launch. Once you’ve mastered the basics, there are plenty of opportunities to continue to develop.
