Set Sail: The 7th Generation Tech Dinghy Fleet (30 Boats)

The latest version of the venerable tech dinghy is a further refinement of a dinghy design used to introduces over 2000 students annually to sailing. With a cockpit conducive to self-rescues, the dinghy is a thrill to sail upwind and downwind in calm zephyrs or stormy conditions on the Charles River. Robust construction is a foundation with responsive end-boom sheeting and a mast that has been moved 10 inches further forward to the original 1936 step location. The bright red sails shout, Come have fun on the Charles River!
