O'pen Skiff
Junior sailing that actually looks fun
The brand
The O'pen Skiff is a modern planing junior boat with an open transom and a self-draining concept — capsize, right it, keep going. The Australian class nominates roughly a 30–65 kg ideal sailor range. The choice between this, an Optimist, an RS Tera, a junior Sabot or a Minnow should be based largely on what the local club sails.
Active Australian class association with an extensive youth calendar; the 2026 and 2027 calendars include events in Queensland, NSW and Victoria.
Our take
The best argument in Australian junior sailing for keeping teenagers in the sport.
