Dinghy cruising is a magical way of exploring new coastlines and experiencing nature at close quarters. For families or solo sailors alike it offers a memorable adventure at an affordable cost, and with the freedom to pull up at any time, on any beach or riverbank that looks appealing.

In this book Margaret Dye shares the knowledge gained from many years’ experience to help others enjoy cruising in a dinghy to the full. With practical advice on how to prepare and equip the boat and tips on how best to cruise in a dinghy, this book will appeal to anyone of any age who longs for the freedom to go where they like when they like on the water.

Newly updated to reflect recent developments in kit, equipment and techniques, this edition also includes a chapter on dinghy cruising for those with disabilities.

Ready to go sailing at the drop of a hat, Margaret Dye is well known for the adventurous dinghy cruising she and her late husband Frank enjoyed in their Wayfarer dinghy all round the UK, America, Canada, Greece, the United Arab Emirates, the Shetland Isles, Sweden and Denmark, including a North Sea crossing to Norway and Iceland, recounted in Ocean Crossing Wayfarer. Margaret lives in Norfolk and continues to explore the rivers and coasts of her beloved East Anglia in her Gull Spirit.
