Optimist Centreboards & Rudders: One-Design Racing Foils by Optiparts

The foils are the Optimist’s steering and anti-leeway engine: in this section you find Optimist centreboards and rudders of Optiparts quality, from fibreglass blades to One Design Racing epoxy versions, built to IOD rules for the maximum permitted stiffness.

The range is completed by all the rudder hardware: long and short pintles, fitting kits, anodised aluminium Deluxe sticks and transom mounting spares. A stiff centreboard and a precise rudder translate into a tighter beat and better control on downwind legs.

Choosing quality foils makes the difference in racing: less flex means less leeway and more speed. All products comply with the controlled measurements of the Optimist class.
