Retooled for 2024, The McLaughlin ProRacer Optimist is engineered to be the absolute stiffest, highest quality, and most technological advanced Optimist available in the world.  Building a strong and balanced hull that is minimum race weight is not easy. It requires skill, technique, and exacting measures. Building the best hull is not just about weight. Balance and stiffness are critical as well. With 30+ years of one-design dinghy manufacturing, our team of builders has refined the processes to exacting standards, guaranteeing consistent results.

Unlike other charter providers, we turn our charter hulls multiple times a year, meaning that each ex-charter ProRacer hull is in top racing condition, having only seen approx 15 days on the water.  Ex-charter hulls include:

• 3 airbags
• Praddle
• Towline
• Hiking straps
• Main sheet system (your choice of a 3:1, 4:1 utilizing spliced Harken 40/29 Carbo Blocks, or a Harken 4:1 Fiddlehead
• Tapered mainsheet
