"Entering the bouldering area to warm up was exciting, we didn't need a harness only a helmet and a good grip!"

 

 

"I was nervous at first but it was great fun - I went halfway first just to settle my nerves,

then climbed all the way to the top.  It was fantastic!"

 

 

"I struggled a bit when trying to tighten my harness, then trusty Mr Roberts helped me. 

There was no stopping me then!"

 

 

"Pe byddai rhywun yn gofyn i mi ddisgrifio'r dringo heddiw mewn gair - FFANTASTIG!"

 

 

 

"I really can't wait to go again! There's so much more I want to achieve."

 

    

 

" I touched the snake's head.  I can't believe it!  I did it! I can't wait to go again..."

 

     

 

" Roedd ofn arnaf ar y cychwyn wrth abseilio i lawr, ond ar ôl ychydig o ymarfer roedd yn hawdd. 

Cefais amser gwych, fe ddringais i gopa'r wal uchel.  Grêt!"

The Optimist is a small, single-crew sailing dinghy for children up to the age of about 15. Nowadays boats are usually made of fiber reinforced plastic, although wooden boats are still built. The Optimist was designed in 1947 by Clark Mills.  It is one of the most popular sailing dinghies in the world, with over 132,000 boats officially registered with the class and many more built but never registered.  The Optimist is also recognized as an International Class by the International Sailing Federation.  The Optimist is a pram, meaning a boat with a flat bow.  It has good handling characteristics despite its squared-off appearance.

 


 

 

Sail

The single sail of the Optimist is sprit-rigged. Two battens stiffen the leech.

 

Hull

Just in front of a bulkhead, which partitions the boat nearly in half, is the daggerboard case. Right behind it on the centerline of the hull floor are attached a pulley and ratchet block. These anchor the sheet and its pulley on the boom directly above.
