HOOK Optimist
World and European Championship-winning hull
The Optimist is the most popular single-handed youth sailing boat. There are many national and international regattas, and every year, the International Optimist Dinghy Association (IODA) organizes continental championships.
Since 1988, we have been building optimists, and since 1996, we have held the licence for the new optimist type, the IOD'95 One Design.
With over thirty years of experience and by using the best materials in construction, we create for you the strongest and most enduring hull. Hungarian sailors achieved 2nd and 3rd places in the European Championship with 3- and 4 years old hulls !
