McLaughlin Advanced Racer
|
For sailors competing at the top!
The McLaughlin Advanced Racer enjoys the distinction
of being the most envied and copied racing Optimist in the world. This
is probably due to our attention toward minute details that can affect
speed and durability (durability, AKA stiffness, equals speed over the
years!) to create the ultimate racing package. This is the exact
package that has won the Worlds!
Everything you need to win at the highest levels of
competition. If you are looking for the best value without sacrificing
performance, this is your boat. This package is the standard for
excelling at the national and world level of racing. It features a
choice of sails and four booms in the BlackGold series of spars to
perfectly fit a wide range of sailors. |
