It is designed to meet all the regulations of IODA and, with careful
construction, will pass measuring by the RYA.
We can also supply MDF parts that will enable you to build an accurate jig mould
in which to build the boat, which will help you to keep inside the class rules
dimensions and tolerances. The kit has been developed with the expert help of Alec Jordan of Jordan Boats and is now another of Jordan Boats home build wooden boat kits.
The kit contains all the plywood parts you need to build the hull and foils,
and further kits are available to finish off the boat to a high standard with
hardwood parts to make such things as the rubbing strips, gunwales, tiller, and
daggerboard battens.
We can then supply you with a kit of fittings to get the hull equipped up to
the class standard, and a further kit contains all the aluminium spars, ropes,
rigging and a class qualifing sail.
There is the option of building a simple childrens' dinghy without the
jig mould, using the plywood parts pulled together with the old stitch
and tape method, and then we can supply an ecomony set of "Schools Sails" and
spars, and simple straightforward rigging. This will get you going with
a great little childs' boat, but it will not qualify for Optimist class
racing.
