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.
