THE DESIGN

The Oriental Trainer is based on the Optimist one of the most successful boats ever designed currently found in over 100 countries world wide. The Oriental Trainer is the ideal boat for learning, training and racing for youngsters under the age of 15.

The design of the Oriental Trainer has been thoroughly tested and thus ensures that it is one of the best training dinghies available. The fact that it has been carefully developed to take advantage of the very strict design rules and that we place great emphasis on attention to the smallest detail, has enabled us to produce one of the best finished and highest quality training dinghies you will find.

To ensure a fast, light, but stiff hull, with the required level of longevity we have utilised an advanced regulated vacuum finishing technique which we have been using for over 10yrs. This process guarantees a long lasting and very competitive boat. Throughout the construction, top quality biaxial cloth and high density foam has been used in conjunction with the highest grade polyester isophalic resins.
