Used Yachting World Dayboat Sailboats for Sale

The Yachting World Dayboat is a classic 14-foot dinghy, first commissioned by Yachting World magazine in 1949, and designed by G. O'Brien Kennedy (M.R.I.N.A.). Conceived as a robust and versatile craft, its primary purpose was to serve as a stable family dayboat suitable for recreational sailing in open waters, estuaries, and rivers, while also offering good performance for racing. It has since earned a reputation as a successful design, appreciated by sailing enthusiasts for its blend of seaworthiness, stability, and enjoyable handling. Modern GRP versions of this classic design are built by specialists such as Chris Somner Dinghy Services, who uphold the integrity of the class.
