Optimist (Pro Racer)

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!

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.
