The new 3D designed optimist
Some time ago Winner decided that we would launch a new and improved Optimist.
We created a little dedicated working group with that only goal to make the fastest possible Optimist in the world.
And since we already build the best Optimist in the world we did the obviously an had the existing DenMark 12Ti 3D scanned.
Then we had one of the leading Finite Elemente Method to make a analyze of the Optimist.
This way we know precise where the weak and strong points are.
With tese two tests in mind we hired one of the best 3D CAD engineers and feet him with all the data from:
On water test, FEM test, 3D scans and all the knowledge/feedback we get from our test sailors and coaches all over the world.
After several months of work he came up with a 3D imporved and optimized hull shape. Then the moulds were 3D milled

How is this Optimist optimized:
· Better water flow
· Better lift in “nose”
· Maximized length of waterline
· The mast step has been lifted 5 mm
  (to catch more wind)
· The centerboard case has been lowered
  5 mm (to have more centerboard in the
  water)
· Less drag (the edged has been sharpened)

Hope to see many sailors in the season in our new 3D Star design.
