| Welcome to the website of 'The International 12 foot Dinghy Class Association' |
| Designed by George Cockshott, an amateur boat designer from Southport, over ninety years ago, the International Twelve
Foot Dinghy became the first one-design racing dinghy to gain international recognition. Today it is virtually forgotten in the
United Kingdom, but the class still enjoys a sizeable following in the Netherlands, Italy and Japan, and is regaining popularity
elsewhere. The foundations of the international association were laid at a meeting in the Hotel Jolanda, Portofino, Italy in May 2006 and since then much progress has been made towards re-establishing the 12' Dinghy as a truly international class. The World Dinghy Championships, to be held in Italy during July 2010, represents the next milestone on the path towards the class regaining its international status. |
