It’s hard to contain our passion here, but we will list a few bullets and then provide a few articles and if we are lucky some of the energy we feel for the class will come through.

•  Your investment is protected. With multiple builders you can always get additional boats. There is also a very dynamic used market for Opti's as kids are constantly aging out and the class is growing.
• No other children's dinghy class in Australia offers the same opportunities for competing against the best Junior Sailors in the World.
• Opti's were designed specifically as a junior sailing boat. It is the only dinghy recognized by the ISAF* exclusively for children under 16 years of age. (*the world organising body for sailing)
• Opti's hull and rig design ensures that your child will gain confidence as the wind comes up. These boats are unbelievably stable compared to other Australian dinghy classes. 
• With Opti's you get more than just a boat. You get great organizations (AIODA and IODA) to help back you up every step of the way.
• No limits on the sailing season. With multiple regattas spread across the year you can find friends to sail against any time you are up for the challenge. At some of the major regattas you can find lots of friends -about 300! Others are much smaller, so there is something for everyone.
• Your Optimist Dinghy can move with you. With 300,000 worldwide you can find Optimist fleets just about anywhere. More fleets are starting all the time.
