Bailers & Paddles

Optimist Bailers & Paddles: Compulsory Safety Equipment

The bailer and paddle are part of the compulsory safety equipment required on board the Optimist when racing: in this section you find bailers and paddles by Optiparts and Winner, essential to empty the hull and for emergency manoeuvres.

The range includes 3.5 litre bailers in various colours, light and tough, and compact plastic paddles to always keep on board. Simple but fundamental tools, especially for young helmsmen during sailing-school activity.

Having an efficient bailer on board lets you quickly clear water after a capsize, keeping the boat light and responsive. The paddle ensures manoeuvrability even without wind or in case of need.
