Optimist Designed for light weight sailors (23-35 Kg.), the Optimist is used nationwide and has high potential for training young beginning sailors. Optimist sailors learn basic boat maneuvering skills like sail adjustments and navigation, which are most essential for progression in sailing. The form of the boat provides a sense of security for the young sailor due to its flat steady shape. With a simple sail and a lot of fun, the Optimist had become the first choice for young sailors all over the world.
   

Laser 4.7 and Radial All it takes for turning a Standard Laser to a Radial or a 4.7 is a smaller sail and a lower pole. The 4.7 is a perfect boat for single small sailors or for sailing teenagers who wish to start with the Standard Laser but aren’t big enough to sail the boat. The Radial serves as the Olympic model for Women in the Laser category and as an intermediate model for men.
   
420 This boat has two sails, one at the front and a major sail. The boat is designed for a crew of two when each sailor has its own specific role: one is called the navigator and the other is a crew member. The navigator holds the steering wheel and controls the major sail whereas the other crew member controls the steering of the front and balances the boat with the trapezes. Also the crew member controls the additional sail, the “Spinniker”, which changes the route of the boat in wide angles. The ages for the 420 are widespread when 18 is the maximum for youth and over 18 is the age for adult courses.
   
Laser The Laser Standard is the most popular one man boat in the world in addition to it being quite a popular modal in sailing. The Standard is one of the 11 Olympic sailing models and so far over 18,000 units were made, which explains this boat’s great popularity. The design and the methods of the Laser Standard assure that it will be the sailor making the difference and not the sailor’s gear. Competitive Laser sailing is the ideal method for indicating the sailor’s proficiency.
   
470 The 470 is equipped with a “Spinniker” and a trapeze which makes sailing a real team work. In order to be competitive on the 470, everything must be professionally and perfectly handled. The boat requires a flawless technique due to the small differences in speed between the boats and the navies for the course which are pretty big.
