…well, just because IT’S FUN!

 

Formerly known as the O’Pen Bic, this boat is long on great times…and short on the time it takes to rig. It’s so easy, we challenged sailors at the Pewaukee Lake Sailing School near Harken to see how long it took to get rigged up and ready to sail. We were amazed at just how fast these sailors moved!
