Optis always have and always will be the best boats for kids to learn sailing. Being very slow, it requires kids to be very good in tactic and strategy in order to perform better than their competition.
hi there, generally there is no age limit, but once kids get past about 16 years of age they move on to other classes as they get a bit heavy for an O'pen
does anyone know where in Australia you can get them???? I sailed one and fell in love with the fact that when i capsize (normally for fun) i don't have to bail compared to the sabots these are awesome!
hey guys this is probably the best open bic sailing video i have seen yet i sail the open bic too and it is a lot of fun especially when you acually need to hike
