these boats are a joke… as a sailor i believe that when the youngsters are done with optis then they should go right into laser 4.7 or laser radial
Just to let you know…this boat is for the same kids that sail opti so you can still go to lasers after the open bic. Don’t say a boat is a joke if you’ve never sail on one
Have you sailed one?
