Optimist Dinghy

The Optimist
is a small, single-crew sailing dinghy. Mainly because of its economical simplicity and the practical size and weight restrictions it places on any skipper, it has become the most popular craft for introducing children to the sport of sailing. In some parts this boat is commonly called the "Opti" or "Oppy". Most sailing schools have a number of them and they are the first boat most beginners will sail.
