About the NORTH HAVEN DINGHY
The North Haven Dinghy is the oldest continually raced one-design sailboat in America. Based on a design said to have been by Dr. C. G. Weld, dating back to 1887. 6 lbs of lead was fitted into the oak centerboard to ensure sinkage. Also, as these dinghy's were not intended to be capsized, 350 lbs of lead ballast was added to the bottom to aid stability.
