300 Opti's take to the water for Race 1 at Singapore 2008.
The Int Optimist is sailed in over 100 countries by over 160,000 skippers, & is the ONLY yacht approved by the International Sailing Fed'n exclusively for sailors under 16.
Quite simply, it's the dinghy in which the world learns to sail.
It's worth noting that at the Athens Olympics, 70% of medal winning skippers were former Optimist sailors.
The International Optimist is the ideal introduction to sailing. It enables sailors to easily and quickly gain confidence on the water, whilst developing the essential sailing skills and techniques for the future. The Optimist is safe, unsinkable, easy & fun to sail, and readily transportable on car roof racks.
The Optimist is a true International One Design class, with identical boats made of a durable GRP Hull, which means minimal maintenance, and a new boat, complete with sail & trolley, costing only around $3,000 (see OziOpti), it provides a very affordable sailing package.
