Dinghy sailing is the activity of sailing small boats by using five essential controls: * the sails * the foils (i.e. the daggerboard or centreboard and rudder and sometimes lifting foils as found on the Moth). * the trim (forward/rear angle of the boat in the water) * side to side balance of the dinghy by hiking or movement of the crew, particularly in windy weather ("move fast or swim"). * the choice of route (in terms of existing and anticipated wind shifts, possible obstacles, other water traffic, currents, tides etc.). When racing, the above skills need to be refined and additional skills and techniques learned, such as the application of the "racing rules of sailing", boat handling skills when starting and when rounding marks, and knowledge of tactics and strategy. Racing tactics include position your boat at different angles, when racing a sailor should position themselves at the windward direction (closest to the direction of the wind) in order to get "clean air", this can improve speed. Those shared challenges, and the variability of the weather and sea can make dinghy sailing and racing a fascinating and rewarding recreational sport: physically, mentally, and in terms of personal relationships with other crew member(s), competitors, and organizers. The RYA, regulating authority for sail training in the UK and Europe, states that "With a reliance on nature and the elements, sailing ... is about adventure, exploration, teamwork and fun."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Start boating: Yacht )〕 ==Development of the dinghy== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dinghy sailing」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
