Model Opti Sailboat Build

04/21/2020 06:00 PM - 04/22/2020 09:00 PM ET

Description

In this class woodworker and boatbuilder Andy Willner will take you step by step through the process of building a model Opti sailboat from a kit. The International Optimist Dinghy, or Opti as it is commonly called, is the most popular child sail training boat ever. Most sailors have their first sailing experiences in this boat and we have a fleet of our own for the Youth Sailing program. We will build the model from a 1:15 scale model kit. Families who wish to build one model with 2 persons will only have to purchase one kit, but will have to pay the additional Joint Tuition.
