The O'pen Bic, rebranded as the O'pen Skiff in 2019 following the acquisition of Bic Sport by Tahe Outdoors, represents a radical departure from traditional junior sail training. Launched in 2006 and designed by Vitali Design, this 9-foot dinghy was engineered to bridge the gap between the static experience of the Optimist and the high-performance world of modern skiff racing. Constructed from thermoformed polyethylene using Twin Sheet Technology (TST), the hull is exceptionally durable, making it a favorite for sailing clubs and beach-launching environments. Unlike the fiberglass-and-wood trainers of the past, the O'pen Skiff features a 100% self-draining cockpit and an open transom, ensuring that water exits the boat immediately after a capsize or a heavy splash—a design philosophy that prioritizes independence and safety for young sailors.
