With the latest news from Yachting Australia that sailing clubs can use any brand of Optimist dinghy for their Tackers Programs, NB Sailsports set out to find the ultimate Tackers Optimist and what we found was better that we could have hoped. We are please to introduce you to the SailQube.

SailQube, is THE newest, fastest and coolest polyethylene dinghy, designed by Jo Richards! Project managed by product development manager Glen Truswell.

The boat is suitable for everyone and is multi functional. It's an ideal practise boat for young sailors because of it's indestructible and unsinkable material. Because of the dimenions and styling, SailQube is also the perfect race trainer for the international Optimist Class.

The best selling point is that this boat is completely self-draining! Yes that's right, no bailing required!! The boat comes upright from a capsize completely dry! How cool is that?!

The boat is completely fitted with Optiparts / Windesign fittings, nothing else. So it is really easy for keeping spare parts, swapping things around etc.

The cockpit is spacious with room to carry a second child.
