Used Open 5.00 Sailboats for Sale

The Open 5.00 stands out as a compact, performance-oriented keelboat designed to deliver an exhilarating sailing experience for both competitive racing and spirited day cruises. Conceived by the renowned French naval architecture firm Groupe Finot, specifically designer Jean-Marie Finot, this sportboat distills the dynamic "surfing" sensations typically associated with dinghies or catamarans into a more stable keelboat platform. Originally built by Phileas Boats in France, the Open 5.00 has been championed in the American market by Open Sailing Inc., who have been instrumental in promoting accessible, high-performance sportboats in the United States.
