Talk:Dinghy sailing

message: I would like to add a class, could somebody tell me how? I would like to add a link to the types box and create the class page similar to the layout of the laser class.
Thanks in advance.

replies: text: One term often used in the US for a small bermuda rigged sailboat is a catboat.  And, in terms of linking, yeah I just meant it would be nice to try to connect this article more with the other stuff already collected in the category.  I was surprised to discover this article because I thought I had a handle on most of the recreational sailing articles on the WP.  I think the Atlantic Divide is part of the split in the groups of editors.  --Chinasaur 02:16, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)

message: This doesn't seem to make any sense. A sailboat can sail faster than the windspeed has nothing to do with aparent wind. Apparent wind is the wind the skipper feels while moving in a sailboat. The hull speed is a function of the forces acting on the sail, which include the the Bernulli (spelling) principal and the mass of the diverted air.

message: ===Trapezing===
Hi, I'm wondering whether the "Planing and trapezing" section might include a brief blurb about continuous trapeze systems.  I've used them quite a bit, because they are in common use in the Flying Dutchman class.
However, my google searches have indicated that they're unique to this class - the only hits I see are either about the FD, or prohibiting continuous trapeze systems in the bylaws of other dinghy classes.  (Well, and one article on a 505 site including them in a list of things that sound neat but don't work very well.)
Is the system worth a comment?  Should it go here, or in the (currently nonexistent) Flying Dutchman (dinghy) page?  Or on the Trapeze page, which isn't linked to from here?

message: Currently first recorded planing boat is a racing sailing Canoe from about 1890, see http://www.intcanoe.org/en/ichistory1850.php. This may even predate planing motorcraft. 212.159.44.170 (talk) 20:40, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

message: Skiffs are usually classed as High performance dinghies. What is the difference? For noobs both descriptions read the same. It' needs to be expanded and explained better. 213.149.61.151 (talk) 23:49, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
