8' exists, what about 10'?


Having trouble defining an oppie as a skiff? According to many on this site a Laser 4000 doesn't qualify, even!



were not saying an oppie is a skiff i was saying you could add about a foot too an oppie and put a bigger rig and some wings and a kite nad a big pole for the kite and there you have it a skiff frm an oppie

Who is up for a laugh!

The Brittish Oppie World Cahmpionships

 

Open rules  but must be built around a standard oppie hull. The hull cannot be lengthened or adjusted in any way!.  Racks Spinikers and foils all allowed!

How many abandoned oppy hulls do you know of.

Add a little bit of technology and go faster bits. It could be the easiest way to become a world champion!

I think the oppy hull should be in contact with the water to save some one gluing a hull to an international Canoe!

We could do this!

No Racks or Trapeze!

Who is up for having a go at this I will discuss it at my club and see if they will provide a venue.

We could get a trophy and all our parents could come along and be over enthusiastic on the shore!
