Gwybodaeth am Lwybr Arfordirol Ynys Môn

Anglesey Coastal Path Info

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.
