OPTI TV Ep.13 - How An Opti Is Made

Did you know the International Optimist Dinghy is one of the hardest fiberglass dinghies to build? All those sharp corners are relics of the era when the boats were made of wood, but are what makes the Opti, well, the Opti. Today we take a look at the process of making an optimist, thanks to our friends at McLaughlin Boat Works who let us point a camera at their shop in Chattanooga, Tennessee. If you'd like to know more about their boats, check them out at http://optistuff.com #opti_tv #optiworld #optisailing Opti TV is the one-stop-shop for Optimist sailors, parents and coaches where we bring together the knowledge base across the Optimist class into one place.
