The International Optimist
The Clearwater Florida Optimists couldn’t run the Soap Box Derby program because of the city’s flat terrain, so they looked for a sailing alternative. In 1947 Clark Mills designed the Optimist Pram— a home-built plywood dinghy that costs less than $50. It caught on quickly. In 1958, Axel Damgaard brought the trainer to Denmark where it was modified and renamed the International Optimist Dinghy. Today, this eight-foot, sprit-rigged boat is the only International Sailing Federation approved dinghy for sailors under 16 years of age.

The singlehanded International Laser® is one of the most popular boats in sailing history, with over 190,000 hulls world- wide. The physically demanding dinghy follows strict one-design regulations and tests a sailor’s endurance and finesse as much as it tests tactical skill. The boat and equipment have changed little since Bruce Kirby’s original 1971 design, but Harken’s recent innovations have been accepted into the Class rules. The powerful 15:1 cascaded vang, 10:1 cunningham, and low-friction clew sleeve make frequent fine-tune adjustments a breeze and have opened the class to a wider range of sailors.

With over 3000 boats and regattas from Maine to California, the Club 420 Class is growing rapidly. This popular double-handed dinghy introduces junior sailors to the spinnaker, trapeze and also teaches the importance of teamwork. The Club 420 plays a large role in intercollegiate (ICSA) and Interscholastic (ISSA) sailing with many college programs choosing the 420 because of its performance and durability.

The Etchells, handled easily by three or four sailors, is one of the most popular trailerable keelboats on the water. This stable, sleek racing sloop attracts a competitive, enthusiastic following—you could find yourself racing with world-class sailors like Dennis Connor, Russell Coutts, John Bertrand, Vince Brun and Judd Smith. It’s a fiercely competitive class, and one of the quickest light-air boats built.

| The J/22 is a pleasure to own, trailerable and fun to sail. With its easy-to-rig deck stepped mast, crew can get from trailer to sailing in 30 minutes. This weight sensitive boat appeals to all ages and skill levels, with 12 to 15 year old boats routinely winning major championships. Below, two deck layouts help access sheets and control lines so crew can optimize weight placement and avoid movement. |

The J/24 is an extremely successful one-design keelboat. Attention to the rules and strict international control provides close racing and attracts the world's top sailors. The J/24 is also popular with weekend club sailors because it is fun, responsive in all conditions, and can be easily handled by one or two people. The class has wisely allowed the development of new hardware systems to keep the boat up-to-date and easy- to-race. Harken has led the way in developing hardware systems for the J/24.

The J/105 is a family racer/cruiser that combines a simple sailplan, clean deck layout, and practical
interior, with enough get up and go to suit the most avid competitor. Clocked at sustained speeds of over 14 knots, this maneuverable one-design keelboat features cockpit control at its best: asymmetrical
pole-launched chute, double-spreader fractional rig, big main and roller-furling jib. The J/105 is optimized
for shorthanded sailing, can be raced with three or four, or easily cruised by two. |

Designed by Norwegian Jan Linge in 1966, this 27-ft (8m) one-design carries a crew of three and has 241 square feet of sail, plus a spinnaker. Droop-hiking crews work their way around the course with special focus on strategy and boat handling-perfect for the popular sport of match racing which the Soling introduced to the Olympics. Today, a glance at the ISAF Match Racing Ranking list shows numerous top-ranked sailors-Russell Coutts, Ed Baird, Peter Gilmour, John Kostecki, Magnus Holmberg-cut their racing teeth on Solings.
