Alejandro Sole and Gonzalo "Bocha" Pollitzer ( www.optisailors.com ), two of the world's most respected and successful Optimist coaches, asked us to build the most competitive hull in the Universe. We responded with the Optisailors Pro-Racer which has quickly become the most sought after Optimist for sailors competing at the highest level.
When second isn't good enough!
The Optisailors PRO-RACER is the ultimate speed machine and can be custom built to each sailor's specifications. We are in constant contact with coaches and "Gung Ho" fathers to keep the OPR at the forefront of technology. If there is a new go-fast development it will be on your Pro Racer. Everything from mast collar, to non-skid, to hiking straps, to mainsheet block can be tailored to your liking. McLaughlin blends the most advanced rigging with the latest in composite technology to give the top sailors what they demand... the very best! We build each hull to the highest standards and according to the sailor's whim: custom colors, clear transoms, glitter and special rigging... you name it!
McLaughlin's hull has never been beaten in World Championship competition! The Pro Racer includes:
· McLaughlin "WORLD CHAMPION" HULL - The Pro-Racer hull is built on a Thursday to allow 4 days residence in the mold. This assures the hull shape is totally rigid and will not change. We then further refine the bottom, edges, centerboard slot and rig it to the most modern systems and hardware available. You, the racer, can specify equipment, non skid aggressiveness and cosmetics such as metal flake, clear transom etc. The hull is simply maxed out and breakdown free. It includes standard features top sailors demand; the strongest mast step attachment - so you'll never have to worry about it, precision appendage alignment check on every hull, and racing wall to wall non-skid. If it is new and tested it is on your Optisailors Pro-Racer.
· What else is included: Your Optisailors Pro-Racer comes completely rigged with floating, high-vis bowline & bow loop; dual red and green bailers; ball bearing HARKEN blocks including the "Carbo Ratchamatic" main sheet block; double tapered mainsheet with boom extender, 3 EZ-fill heavy duty airbags and straps, Optisailors double padded adjustable hiking straps; Delrin mast collar w/ mast safety tie-in and mast lock; stainless steel adjustable locking mast step; daggerboard adjustment system w/ handle; daggerboard protection kit; non-skid surfacing in cockpit; owners manual and rigging guide; IYRU plaque and USODA measurement book.
· Your choice of top-level Racing Spars - Although the Blackgold EX975 spar set, with 4 boom choices, is consider the best worldwide, we do offer others, which sport their own unique features. Giulietti Blacktop, light mast and the Optimax MK3 spar set. Guide to Spars.
· Sails - Your choice of the best racing sails in the World . McLaughlin stocks all the major racing sails: Toni Tio , Olimpic, North, WinDesign, and J-Sails, etc. Guide to Sails.
· Blades -Your choice of top level "New Rule" Epoxy Foils from Tebbertmann, N1 or WinDesign Pro Race These three manufacturers dominate the field of racing blades and are seen on the majority of Optimists at World and Continental Championships. They include a Deluxe Optiparts black anodized tiller, and removable tiller extension. Guide to Blades.
All you need to add to your Optisailors Pro Racer is a highly motivated sailor in a lifejacket!
