Penguin (dinghy)

Penguin (dinghy)

The Penguin is an convert|11|ft|m|sing=on cat-rigged sailing dinghy designed in 1938 by Philip Rhodes. The design experienced a surge in popularity after an article with construction plans was published in Yachting Magazine in 1940. The boat was originally designed to be easily built by an amateur at home out of plywood. Penguins are available in wood and fiberglass today, and the class is popular for cold-weather frostbiting runs.
