love sailing open bic, best boat I've ever owned

[@davideliot5870]

I sailed an O'pen BIC yesterday for a few minutes rescuing an inexperienced sailor who got overwhelmed in about 15 with choppy waves. Super fun. I am 57 years old and 150 pounds, but when I got to the beach all I could say is "I want one." More fun than a Laser, and much more fun than an El Toro, and it would fit in my garage. Someone should design a similar boat for bigger people--I want a little broader bow for buoyancy and a lot more non-skid on the deck, please.

[@burningflame5527]

David Eliot probably not possible as it might get copyrighted you probably should look at a laser aero

[@darcyjbc1253]

Try a RS AREO

[@danielnokes9146]

I learned to sail on one of these boats, by far the best to learn on.

[@moaerdo1357]

Amazing for kids but at a certain point you get so big that it’s very difficult to move efficiently around the boat

[@rhampeige]

1:46 that tiller extension haha

[@matthewbarymow4402]

Lol

[@Mitchseen]

Awesome event and Class especially for the participants. Exceptionally well covered Ben as always!

[@conorkellett3701]

Sick vid!

[@ranaaylanc8700]

sailing was a perfect sport and I do it

[@NinaMSP-rr6yw]

I sail opti every Saturday and I love Optus but I just did the North Americans bic ragada and it was so much fun! Our club just started bic and everybsaturday after my option practice I always do the bic for at least 30 mins!!!

[@onni7324]

awesome

[@jacekrogulski850]

I Love swimming on them :)

[@alexiswestland1829]

I want o'pen bics to be a thing in america soooo bad😩!!

[@NinaMSP-rr6yw]

They are in America 😘

[@GeorgeLockwood]

Can they not close of the leech? I haven’t sailed Bics in a while but they are dumping wind.

[@sailingshack]

George Lockwood true but when they are it’s in a fair bit of breeze

[@GeorgeLockwood]

sailingshack true. Also I do remember bic Vangs being a pain to use and a pain to repair as a coach.

[@lukemcgrath3060]

I wish I sailed this instead of an oppie

[@sailingshack]

+luke mcgrath we love opti's as well, but these are are just such a fun class to be involved with!

[@onni7324]

opti is for beginners ;33

[@marcusb949]

Luke McGrath The niveau in opti is much bigger than in those

[@byronpratt9697]

As a pro bic sailor I can certainly say no you don’t, they look very fun and energetic little boats but in reality it just tears you apart to sail one in heavy chop and high wind. “Did I put the Vang on?” You realize as you see the boom soar up into the air on a broad reach, i now help coach kids in optics and bics, mad when I see them ‘move up’ from optis to bics they just can’t do it and drop straight out.

[@tomw9078]

@@byronpratt9697 I agree, did the opti campaign, moved to bics, loved them to death, came 5th in this regatta but god, they are not cruisy boats in a good breeze.

[@MxC06]

long time not sail, what are those boat ? Europe ? Laser ?

[@onni7324]

Max Convex hi mate they are like optimist and zoom8. They are smaller than europe or laswr i self sail the europe class;)

[@axelfleet5481]

Ethan Merrill and not many people sail these also there TOO simple

[@burningflame5527]

It’s only a extra one meter on the sail it’s not to overpowered

[@TheMrbombastic13]

Better than yours mate

[@SwagMaster-fq8qg]

Lmao these boats are a joke. The regattas are a joke. This is for kids who don’t like getting their asses kicked in Optis.
