O'pen Bic

The fast, planing hull of the O’pen Bic gives the dynamic sailing experience of a true dinghy that heels. Being at the helm of this powerful machine gives you the same level of excitement normally experienced on a boat for adults. Based on the 60-foot Open design, including a totally open self draining stern, even capsizing is fun! Young sailors are fully independent on the water and will be proud to sail such a modern-looking and elegant boat; one that sails and looks like the boat of today’s champions.

Optimist Pram

This little pram-bowed racing dinghy, affectionately known as an "Opti", is arguably on of the best starter boats of world-class sailors (70% of medalist skippers in the Athens Olympics got their starts in Optimists). She's so beamy, buoyant (three buoyancy units per hull are required in Class design rules) and easily handled, it's extremely difficult to capsize her. The Optimist is specifically designed to be a junior training and racing boat and enjoys active fleets in over 100 nations.

Every Laser in the world is identical. Strict one-design class rules ensure this remains true, making it the sailor that wins the race, not the boat.
