Optimist / Spars

The Ø 45 x 2.2 mm mast and Ø 27 x 1.5 mm sprit are made of the highest grade aluminium available. (7075 T6 Aerospace spec. alloy) and the super stiff BLACK GOLD mast and sprit can be used with a choice of booms :
The 32 mm BLACKLITE boom
A bendy boom, which comes with a bridle, will flatten and depower the sail which enables the lightweight sailor to go faster in more wind.
The 40 mm BLACKGOLD boom
A stiff and lightweight boom, which comes with a bridle and suitable for the majority of sailors.
The 55 mm BLACKMAX boom
The ultra stiff (and yet lightweight) boom can be used without a bridle. This enables the larger sailor to jump across the boat and not too far aft while tacking.

Less stiff but this is ideal for the light weight sailor who has just started racing.
The silver ø45 x2mm mast, ø40x1.2mm boom and ø25.4 x 1.6mm sprit are made of temered 6082 aluminium tube.
The lightweight 40mm silver boom is much stiffer than the school boom and will allow the sailor to put more tension on the leach.
The silver sprit has 15cm anti chafe protectiontubing.
