The BLACKGOLD™ RIG is the world’s most advanced Optimist rig.
For many years it has been chosen as the official charter rig for the I.O.D.A
World, European, Asian and Oceanian Championships.
Several outstanding results have been achieved in the past years.
We have redesigned the BLACKLITE™ spar set for lightweight sailors.
Extensive testing with coaches and sailors worldwide has proven the best
solution for sailors under 40 kg is a flexible mast with 40 mm boom.
The 25% lighter EX902 flexible mast allows the sailor to depower
the rig in heavy air while the 40 mm boom helps the sail maintain
proper sail shape. On the Blackgold™.
Feature for feature, there is no equal to the Optiparts BLACKGOLD™ sets.
Two 45 microns Black hard anodized 7075 masts, a choice of three black
anodized booms and three black anodized 7075 sprits.
All black fittings, hard anodized cleats, a black sprit chafe guard,
captive eye straps on the boom, a halyard cleat with becket.
Zero stretch, zero creep, black, Vectran line package, 45 mm power boom,
New for 2017: Dyneema halyard with Harken hook-in block and Windesign
low friction ring.
We offer a choice of three booms:
The 40 mm
BLACKGOLD™ MEDIUM
boom. A stiff and lightweight boom
which is suitable for the majority of sailors.
The 45 mm
BLACKGOLD™ POWER
boom.
A stiffer boom to keep more tension on the leech for the heavier sailor.
The smaller bridle gives more space when tacking.
The 55 mm
BLACKMAX™
boom.
This ultra stiff and yet lightweight boom can be used without a bridle.
This enables the larger sailor to land further forward when tacking.
All booms are made from high grade, tempered tube.
Fitted with captive eye straps, black nylon in- and outboard end fittings,
nylon outhaul cleat, 4 mm Vectran outhaul and bridle,
Vectran vang and outhaul trim gauge.
We offer a choice of three sprits:
The 26,6 mm BLACKLITE sprit is 20% more flexible than
the BLACKGOLD sprit.
The 27 mm BLACKGOLD sprit
The 29 mm BLACKMAX sprit is 19% stiffer than the 27 mm BLACKGOLD
sprit. Recommended only for sailors over 45 kg.
