| Welcome to the website of 'The International 12 foot Dinghy Class Association' |
| Designed by George Cockshott, an amateur boat designer from Southport, ninety-eight 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 an enthusiastic and sizeable following in the Netherlands, Italy and Japan, and is regaining popularity
elsewhere. In recent years much progress has been made towards re-establishing the 12' Dinghy as a truly international class. New Class Associations have been founded in Turkey, Slovenia, Switzerland and France and the Dinghy World Cup sailed in Venice during June 2011 attracted 104 boats representing 10 countries. |
