Dinghy sailing is recommended for building  experience and developing and sharpening your maritime sense. They are not only fun to sail, but they are a great way to improve your sailing expertise. Single- or multi-handed, dinghies help understand the basics of sailing: sail trimming, controlling (easing/tightening) the lines, understanding the effect of the centerboard and the rudder, using your body position (front-rear, side-to-side) to balance the hull, reading wind shifts and anticipating local weather conditions.
