Optimist
This is a Large-scale semi-Custom half hull model of the Optimist dinghy. The model scale is 12.5 / 100. The model is built with gel coat and a few layers of 2oz fiberglass. The model is assembled from 3 different parts - a hull, a rudder, and a dagger board. It could be built with a cockpit, but adding the cockpit will increase the expense. I decided to use one part female mold for the hull. I hope you like the model and its' price.
