Serving our youth with emphasis on Safety, Fun, Skill and Camaraderie.
O’pen Bic
The fast, planing hull of the O’pen Bic gives the
dynamic sailing experience of a true dinghy that heels. Being at the helm of this powerful machine gives you the same level of excitement
normally experienced on a boat for adults. Based on the 60-foot Open design, including a totally open self draining stern, even capsizing is fun! Young sailors are fully independent on the water and will be proud to sail such a modern-looking and elegant boat; one that sails and looks like the boat of today’s champions and is excellent for youth training.
