Pinta 3.2m Dinghy

This dinghy by Wave Dancer Yacht Design was specifically designed to be a 'Simple Dinghy', offering an alternative to full racing boats of low free-board and sophisticated rigs.

This means you can get out there and sailing with a minimum of fuss. For this reason it is also an ideal sail trainer and could be a Cadet boat for sailing clubs. As a family boat it could get your children started in the sport.

The hull can be sailed, rowed or powered by a 2.5-3.3 hp outboard motor adding versatility to its usage - one of which is of course as a tender to a yacht.

Successful sailing tests have been carried out and she proved very responsive and with a good turn of speed, which is gratifying as it proves that a simple boat need not be slow.

Sailed by an experienced dinghy sailor during a test sail, the boat got up on the plane for short periods. The hull shape is certainly suitable and in the right conditions this should provide some exciting sailing.
