Choosing a stable and sensible dinghy or keelboat is essential. Many day- sailing sailors pay scant attention to rig tuning, but getting the mast position and rake right can make a huge difference to pointing ability and reducing the power – the difference between catching the tide and being several hours late. See Performance Sailing (chapter 7) for more information on tuning your rig.
If you have your own boat and wish to trail to a different venue then you should consult and comply with the local regulations regarding towing, and load your dinghy sensibly. Further information on towing can be sought on the Highways Agency website.
