WoodenWidget recommend the
use of the Optimist sailing rig as it
is the most popular sailing dinghy
in the world so it is an easy matter
to get your hands on one either
new or secondhand, perhaps from
a sailing school. The plans include
advice about using other rigs so
you can fit a rig that suits your
needs.

Optimist sail to be cut down a
little. This is an easy job for any

The Origami
sailing dinghy uses a
pivoting lee board (placed on
starboard but it could go on port if
desired) so it is ensured of a good
windward performance and a
spacious interior. The square shape
of the dinghy gives surprising
stability and its light weight means a
responsive sailing experience. The
Origami sailing dinghy is a
surprisingly good little craft which is
guaranteed to bring a smile to your
face. And at the end of the day, it
packs away to a tiny package that
can be stowed almost anywhere.
