Men's Dinghy

The equipment for the Men’s Dinghy event, the ILCA 7 is one of the most popular boats in the world, due to its broad accessibility and simplicity to set up and sail.

The ILCA 7 is the original rig, with the largest sail area of all variations, and has been used at the Olympic Games since 1996. As a one design class, all athletes in the ILCA 7 will compete at the Olympic Games with equipment built and supplied by the same manufacturer.

Designed by Bruce Kirby (CAN) & Ian Bruce (CAN) in 1969, the ILCA 7 has a single mainsail, meaning it is lightweight and fast to sail.
