Dinghy: anything with one hull and without a keel or a
cabin.

I.e. doesn't need a car to pull it up the slipway.

That would exclude traditional boats like the Brighlingsea One Design and others of the same ilk..

Dinghy: original spelling "Dingi is" a hindi name for a particular rowing boat.

A boat without a fixed (permanently down) appendage. Certainly most of the standard sailing boat design texts
seem to imply this definition.

I think anything about weather it plains or not is a
"performance dinghy" (whatever that is...) hang up and equally the claim of the flying fifteens, tempests and
other small fast keel boats is really a dinghy is a hang up
by them.
