Open Sailing promotes the sport of sailing through the sport boat - a progressive concept that aims to make sailing fun, easy, and fast. Our sport boat of choice is the Open 5.70. Originally designed by renowned sailing architect Jean-Marie Finot in France back in 2004 the boat has grown in Europe to be one of the largest one-design sport boat classes. The Open 5.70 offers a perfect blend of performance, excitement, simplicity and safety which makes it appealing to a wide spectrum of sailors. Whether it is day-sailing or one-design racing, with either your friends or your family, the Open 5.70 guarantees a great sailing experience in almost any conditions. For those sailors who are looking for a bigger adventure Open Sailing presents the Pogo 2 - a Mini TransAt designed by the Finot/Conq Architect Group. Even though Mini TransAt boats are only 21 feet they are built for offshore sailing and racing. The signature event for the class is the Mini TransAt - a biannual single handed race from France to Brazil that covers more than 4,000 nautical miles. Open Sailing is fully committed to supporting it's boats and associated classes by providing accessories, gear, electronics, exceptional customer support, and services including personal delivery, private tuition, online documentation, spare/replacements parts, and of course a smile! Open Sailing is based in Southern California but has a network for representatives and dealers nationwide.
