Optimist North Sail racing

We have a very nice North Sail, used ( I was told ) in International Racing, was it Barcelona?



 It  would suit a builder of one of our Optimist kit sets, priced at less than half of a new sail and just U$100.00 or R2000.00 in South Africa.



This sail has been used very lightly and shows no marks or related damage.


We can ship a kit and this sail to most places ?


This North Sail has since been sold and with another two Optimist Dinghy to a builder we have supplied before in Zurich, Switzerland.

The Wood Epoxy Optimist dinghy kit

 We started making the Optimist as a plywood kit quite a while back, since when they have sold to places like New York, San Francisco, Zurich and a good few other destinations.



We have sent a number of them to the same builder in Zurich, more may be on the way soon, this is one of that builders work and from one of our plywood kits.



With each kit we supply is a detailed builders guide, a building jig to our own design, options can be Optiparts, Harken deck gear, North Sail,  etc etc.



Floats can either red or grey, supplied by Optiparts. We can also supply the Optiparts masts sets and related parts.



At this time we use imported French made marine plywood , its light weight and stronger than some other makes?


We started production of our Optimist wood epoxy dinghy kits back in 2004, so next year will be the second decade of production for us.
