Red Dragon Optimist

Designed for sailors weighing 50-120 lbs., the Optimist Dinghy 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 unintimidating 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.

The Red Dragon Optimist features: World Class blades available in two styles: fiberglass reinforced foam core (FRP) with gelcoat shell, or Fiberglass reinforced wood core with epoxy shell; Four Fastener Mainsheet Block Eyestraps; Durable Airbags; Non-skid rails for better hiking; Padded Hiking Strap for added comfort
