Introduction to the Championship
Introduction to the Championship Optimist Fleet at CGSC The Optimist is the world’s most popular youth sailing trainer in existence with over 150,000 vessels registered with the class association. The Optimist is sailed in over 120 countries and it is one of only two dinghies approved by World Sailing exclusively for sailors under 16 years of age. At the London Olympics in 2012, 80% of all boat skippers were former Optimist sailors, most of them having reached international level in the Class. So congratulations! You are part of a rich and great international tradition here at CGSC, and you have a lot to look forward to stepping into the competitive world of Optimist Racing. But first, what is the Championship Fleet at CGSC? Red, White, and Blue Explained Within the Optimist Circuit, the competitors are divided in Fleet Racing (more on that later) by age into three divisions. Sailors fall into the different fleets based on age, not skill level White 10 years old or under Blue 11 to 12 years old Red 13 to 15 years old In the United States the Optimist Class is overseen by the USODA (United States Optimist Dinghy Association) and they host sanctioned regattas all over the United States (USODA Qualifiers). Our ultimate goal in the CGSC Championship Optimist Fleet is to qualify for the World Championship one day. It is the highest honor an Optimist sailor can receive, and only 5 sailors are allowed into the Worlds per country. CGSC has the distinction of being the only club to send almost all the sailors representing the US two years in a row! (1984 and 1985 optimist worlds) so the potential for success in Optimist Racing is there.

Design of a Foiling Optimist
Journal of Sailboat Technology, Article 2018-06 © 2018, The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers. DESIGN OF A FOILING OPTIMIST A. Andersson, A. Barreng, E. Bohnsack, L. Larsson, L. Lundin, G. Olander, R. Sahlberg and E. Werner Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden C. Finnsgård and A. Persson Chalmers University of Technology and SSPA Sweden AB, Sweden M. Brown and J McVeagh SSPA Sweden AB, Sweden Downloaded from http://onepetro.org/jst/article-pdf/3/01/1/2205397/sname-jst-2018-06.pdf by guest on 26 September 2021 Manuscript received January 16, 2018; accepted September 11, 2018. Abstract: Because of the successful application of hydrofoils on the America's Cup catamarans in the past two campaigns the interest in foiling sailing craft has boosted. Foils have been fitted to a large number of yachts with great success, ranging from dinghies to ocean racers. An interesting question is whether one of the slowest racing boats in the world, the Optimist dinghy, can foil, and if so, at what minimum wind speed. The present paper presents a comprehensive design campaign to answer the two questions. The campaign includes a newly developed Velocity Prediction Program (VPP) for foiling/non-foiling conditions, a wind tunnel test of sail aerodynamics, a towing tank test of hull hydrodynamics and a large number of numerical predictions of foil characteristics. An optimum foil configuration is developed and towing tank tested with satisfactory results. The final proof of the concept is a successful on the water test with stable foiling
