If you want your boat to be a retirement home you are probably better off with a yacht. This is a big advantage for a dinghy if you are a green purist and feel that your boat should only be propelled by non-polluting renewable energy sources. A yacht cannot really manage without an engine these days since, apart from anything else, manoeuvring under sail is prohibited in many harbours and marinas. A dinghy can be rowed so an engine is not essential, although a dinghy can carry a small outboard.Some have said that if it is rough enough to be sick on a dinghy it won't happen because you will be too scared to remember to be sick. This may have something to do with the super abundance of fresh air and the horizon being visible all round. We have made trips of 12 hours duration in our Wayfarers and rarely has anyone been seasick. I don't think this is only because dinghies stay at sea for shorter periods than yachts. It is true, most people are liable to seasickness on a yacht but on a dinghy it is comparatively rare.

(on most dinghies it is fairly easy to lower the mast, the Wayfarer is particularly good in this respect)

The upper reaches of estuaries, and indeed inland rivers and even canals, are interesting places to explore by water but are inaccessible to yachts both because of shallow water and because of fixed bridges.

Having said that a yacht may be able to use an exposed anchorage whilst a dinghy does need sheltered water if it is to be habitable overnight even so I think the options for an overnight stop are ususally wider for a dinghy than for a yacht. The small dimensions and particularly the shallow draft of a dinghy mean that it can use mooring sites which yachts cannot reach and which are often available without overnight mooring fees.

It is easier to find overnight stopping places for a dinghy than for a yacht.

Getting a yacht to a new cruising area can mean long sea passages which take up most of a short holiday before you get a chance to relax and explore at leasure. This means that a dinghy has greater flexibility to explore a variety of cruising areas.

A dinghy can be transported on a road trailer behind a car which is not possible with any reasonably sized yacht.

Here are some real benefits in using a dinghy rather than a yacht for cruising, apart from the obvious one that the purchase cost and the operating costs are lower by one or more orders of magnitude: Is a cruising dinghy just a poor man's substitute for a proper yacht? There are also people cruising with what are basically rowing boats, perhaps with a small sail to provide relaxation on downwind legs only, this can reasonably be included as a form of dinghy cruising. The HSC Wayfarers are certainly dinghies in all respects. However, we don't need to apply these conditions too rigorously, there are some boats which most people would think of as dinghies but which do have some ballast and there are some which have a tiny cabin but which are otherwise dinghy like in style.

no permanent cabin) sailing boat which does not have heavy stabilising ballast. In this context we take a dinghy to be a small (say less than about 20 foot (6.1m) length), open (i.e. I suppose that if you want a definition of dinghy cruising then you need to supplement it with a definition of a dinghy. Few dinghy sailors seem to be aware that their boats are potentially capable of covering greater distances and carrying all the equipment that will be needed for overnight stops.

Most dinghy sailors use their boats for racing, or just for pottering, which usually means sailing for an hour or two in one patch of water. By 'dinghy cruising' we mean the use of a sailing dinghy for recreational travel over relatively long distances, generally with overnight stops.
