The word "dinghy" is believed to have originated from the Hindi word "dingi," which refers to a small boat or skiff. It was adopted into English during the British colonial period in the 19th century. Initially used to describe small boats used for transportation or as lifeboats, the term has since become widely used in sailing and maritime contexts.

The weight of a dinghy can vary depending on its size and materials used for construction. On average, a small inflatable dinghy can weigh around 30-50 pounds, while a larger wooden or fiberglass dinghy can weigh anywhere from 100-300 pounds. It's best to check the specific specifications provided by the manufacturer for an accurate weight.
The origin of the word dinghy is beyond dispute. It is well documented that it comes from the Hindi or Bengali word dingi or dengi, which means a native rowing boat used on Indian rivers. Modern English dictionaries define it as 'a small boat propelled by oars, sail or motor.' Older dictionaries as 'a small extra boat in a man-of-war or a small pleasure rowing boat'; also allowing the alternative spellings, dingey or dingy.
The weight of a dinghy can vary significantly based on its size and construction materials. Generally, a small inflatable dinghy may weigh around 50 to 100 pounds (23 to 45 kg), while a larger hard-shell dinghy can weigh anywhere from 150 to 300 pounds (68 to 136 kg) or more. Always check the specifications from the manufacturer for precise weights.
