sailing dinghy
One-person sailing craft
A sailing dinghy is a small, lightweight sailboat designed for one to three people, typically featuring a single mast and centerboard rather than a fixed keel.
These boats are used for recreation, racing, and learning to sail, as their nimble handling and responsiveness make them ideal training vessels.
She learned the basics of sailing in a Laser dinghy before moving up to larger boats.
