Boat Review
Young sailors are suitable for an Optimist boat and are a very popular boat to learn in. The compact nature of this boat means 2 can be transported on the roof of a car. The dinghy is for a single sailor and is a very stable boat, which is difficult to capsize even in strong winds. They are light and easily manipulated by an instructor in a safety boat, if the sailor is learning. The boat can easily be moved by a young person and allows them to learn about the tactics and wind strategy, as the boat isn’t physically demanding. This is a great boat for young individuals not only because of the handling but also maintenance is minimal.
