While new boats released onto the adult sailing market have changed the face of dinghy sailing, there have been no new boats for younger sailors for some time. With the O’pen Bic, children and teenagers alike now have a true glide machine for real excitement on the water. The O’pen Bic is THE link between the Optimist generation and the new generation of sailing dinghies.
The fast, planing hull of the O’pen Bic gives a dynamic sailing experience of a true dinghy that heels. Young sailors are fully independent on the water and will be proud to sail such a modern-looking and elegant boat, one that both sails and looks like the boat of today’s champions |
| On the hull, the shaped daggerboard and rudderblade, and all deck equipment and fittings are worthy of the most modern dinghies: Cunningham tackle, mainsheet with ratchet block. The rig includes a fully-battened, 4,5m2 mono-film sail with mast pocket, similar to that of a windsurf board. Rigged on an epoxy mast, the sail has been designed with an open leech to give sailors maximum control and performance in windy conditions. |
