Designed to reef or furl your mainsail, the PROFURL in-boom system provides safe reefing for your mainsail from the cockpit. The main halyard and the reefing line can also be operated from the cockpit.
Hoisting the mainsail is made easy: just turn the boat into the wind, release the furling line and pull on the halyard.
Reefing or furling is just as easy: simply control the tension on the halyard and pull the furling line.
Thanks to a number of patented design features, controlling your mainsail is a smooth operation.
An Optiparts Club spar is the ideal training rig for beginner Optimist sailors. Constructed of 6000 Series aluminum, they are made for durability and longevity. They are designed with an attached sprit halyard block and use eye straps instead of pins and plugs at the mast head. Keeping the spar contained eliminates the constant cost of replacing parts. All Optiparts Club spars purchased through McLaughlin Boat Works are specially upgraded to include a 4:1 sprit halyard with a ball bearing Microblock and a premium cleat package. The upgrades we insist upon put these Club Racing Spars a cut above any other club spar on the market.
The Ø 45 x 2.2 mm mast and Ø 27 x 1.5 mm sprit are made of the highest grade aluminium available. (7075 T6 Aerospace spec. alloy) and the super stiff BLACK GOLD mast and sprit can be used with a choice of booms :
The 32 mm BLACKLITE boom
A bendy boom, which comes with a bridle, will flatten and depower the sail which enables the lightweight sailor to go faster in more wind.
The 40 mm BLACKGOLD boom
A stiff and lightweight boom, which comes with a bridle and suitable for the majority of sailors.
The 55 mm BLACKMAX boom
The ultra stiff (and yet lightweight) boom can be used without a bridle. This enables the larger sailor to jump across the boat and not too far aft while tacking.
