Trolley upgrades – Stainless steel axles
We improved our trolleys!
From now we provide all our trolleys with the EX10797 – Stainless steel 25 mm axles. These are much more durable than the aluminium axles which we have used before. These axles have extremely good wear resistance characteristics against sand and salt.
EX10798 – Stainless steel locking pins
The new axles come with new stainless steel locking pins. A much more durable one-piece constructed 8 mm pin. Please note that the old alumimium / stainless steel pins and axles have a pin and hole diameter of 5 mm. You will need to drill the hole up to 8 mm in case you would like to replace the locking pin only.
EX10784 – Black solid rubber wheels
The solid rubber wheels now come in completely black color (before red) to provide better UV protection. These wheels have a diameter of 28 cm, are 10 cm wide, do not float and you will never have a flat tyre again. The EX1075 Optimist trolleys are supplied with these wheels and can also be used on all other Optiparts trolleys.
Our trolleys below are improved with the stainless steel axles and stainless steel locking pins:
EX1075 – Optimist trolley with solid rubber wheels
EX1076 – Optimist trolley with Optiflex wheels
EX2015 – Trolley for Laser®
EX2016 – Trolley with 2-piece middle section for Laser®
EX1076B – Trolley with belt and large Optiflex-lite wheels – NEW!
A new trolley in our collection! Same design as our regular aluminium trolley, now available with belt. Your Optimist slides easy from the belt when launching. Also available with black solid rubber wheels (EX1075B).
Training and Regatta mark – Visible and durable!
We designed a highly visible yellow sailing buoy that can be easily used as training mark, by coaches or sailing schools, or as regatta mark during races. This highly visible yellow training mark is designed to last long. The mark consists of 3 separate parts: a solid outer, an inflatable inner bladder and a ballast bag. The mark can be used anchored or as drifting mark. At the bottom you will find a big grab handle where you can easily fasten the mooring line.
Solid outer
The outer is made of thick 0.9 mm heavy duty fabric. On the top of the solid outer you will find an opening to insert the inflatable bladder. The opening has a velcro/buckle closure. On the side of the outer you will find two grab handles to make it easy to carry and to reposition the mark.
Inflatable inner bladder
The inflatable bladder is made of polyurethane coated nylon and has a twist lock tube valve for quick inflation and deflation.
Ballast bag
The mark has an internal ballast compartment to contain the separate ballast bag. The ballast compartment can be accessed through a velcro closure. The ballast bag has an easy to use lock buckle and can be filled with chain or stones.
This training mark features a pocket for an optional strengthening batten (not included).
With these specifications we made a sailing buoy that can be easily used as training mark, by coaches or sailing schools, or as regatta mark during races.
Size inflated: 180 x 18 cm
