Episode 3 - Parts of a Sailing Dinghy


Listen Later

In this episode, we are going to explore the different parts of a sailing dinghy.

First, the bit that most of you will know is the mast. They do come in different sizes and often are mounted in slightly different ways.

In this episode, I’m going to focus on the boats that you might be most familiar with, Herons, Mirrors, GP14s, Enterprises, Wayfarers, Scorpions. These typically will have 2 sails, the sail at the front is a jib sail, and the biggest sail is the mainsail.

That’s it for this lesson if you found this useful then treat me to a coffee at www.buymeacoffee.com/Learntosail
