This year, the PRSA Opti fleet is joining the Penguin fleet for
a regatta and Thursday night practices. The Penguin sailboat is
the perfect companion to the Opti. Similiar in design, the Penguin
looks a little like an Opti, but is big enough for 2 people. For

don't own Optis.

PRSA OPTI FLEET IS UNDERWAY
PRSA host practices and races while emphasizing safety, boat handling,
basic sailing, racing for beginners and confidence building. We've
chosen the Optimist Dinghy as our one-design boat because it's National
Organization is the largest fleet of racing kids in the US, and
International Organizations can be found around the world. For more
information, please visit USODA.
The standard Opti and Pram is easy to transport, store and accessorize
for racing. They can be readily found new and used. Please check
