The
Optimist dinghy is the most popular type of racing sailboat for juniors up
to 15 years of age. Designed for sailors weighing 75-120 lbs., the
Optimist has become the world standard for introductory junior
trainers. Optimist sailors learn the essential steering and sail-trimming
skills necessary to continue in the sport of sailing. Its flat, stable hull
provides an un-intimidating introduction to sailing; and, as young sailors
progress, they can graduate to the Optimist racing circuit.
With a
simple rig and a light, durable hull, Vanguard Optimists have become the #1
choice of junior sailors.
