A inghy is a type of small boat, often carried by a larger boat. The term can also refer to small racing yachts or recreational open sailing boats. Utility dinghies are usually rowboats or have an outboard motor but they could also be rigged for sailing. They are used for off-ship excursions from larger boats, outside of docking at suitably-sized ports or marinas. A small vehicle towed behind a motorhome is colloquially referred to as a dinghy. Because the smaller sailing dinghy responds more quickly to each maneuver whether correct or incorrect, they are more ideal for beginner training in sailing, rather than full sized sloops where an intermediate level is more appropriate.
