General information<\/strong><\/p>\n

Having been considered lost after decades of disappearance, OPTIMISTA (ex-OPTIMIST), the original 37\u2019 steel OPTIMIST, winner of both the 1967 and the 1968 One Ton Cups is back in the water after having been restored and refitted (2019-2022).<\/p>\n

OPTIMIST, designed by Dick Carter, made history by winning the 1967 and the 1968 One Ton Cups, and coming second in 1969, under the skipper sailmaker Hans Beilken. OPTIMIST was sold to a Portuguese businessman in 1970 with whom she won numerous other trophies on multiple regattas organized by Lisbon\u2019s Naval Association during the following two decades. With her armoury of sails, innovative trim tab and her elegant lines, OPTIMIST stood out both for her incomparable performance when racing and her beauty.<\/p>\n
