Not necessarily.... they may have been trying to get from the dock to the mother vessel... and in a sailing dinghy, that might require what would look like a nice little daysail, since sailing dinghies can't go directly up wind.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
