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 9foot dinghy was engineered to bridge the gap between the static experience of the Optimist and the highperformance 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 beachlaunching environments. Unlike the fiberglassandwood trainers of the past, the O'pen Skiff features a 100% selfdraining 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.
