NEW OPTIMIST SAIL RANGE FOR 2016 We are pleased to announce our new full Optimist Sail range for 2016. The new Japanese designed radial cut R1, R2 & R4 have now been released! During the last year we have been working hard on developing these new designs and have run a lot of speed test sessions to set a goal for better pointing and acceleration. We have now finalized the 3 types of design based on the P4 which is our previous successful radial design. The design comes in 3 weight range versions and is now ready for release following very impressive testing results to confirm their better performance. Along with the crosscut MZX4 & MZX5, which were released in October, this makes up our full 2016 range.
