Our Youth Boats
The Optimist Affectionately known as the “Opti”. This is a small single-handed dinghy, about 7.5 ft long, that looks like a "bathtub." This is the perfect boat for new sailors up to age 15 and up to 130 pounds. The skills learned on the Opti can translate to other boats as they grow and gain experience. The Opti is sailed in over 120 countries with more than 150,000 boats registered by the International Sailing Federation. DCYC Youth Opti sailors compete in the Texas Sailing Association and the US Optimist Dinghy Association. The Opti offers a GREEN fleet where children can receive instruction while competing in their first sailboat races. Once they feel confident in their racing skills they can move up to the RED, WHITE, and BLUE age-based fleets.
The RS Tera is a fast and exciting single-hander that has been a World Sailing International Class since 2007. This 9.5 foot boat is packed with features that make sailing safe and easy for kids 65 to 150 lbs. It comes up dry from a capsize and is quick and simple to rig. The RS Tera is a part of the RS Sailing North America Class Association. This boat is new to the Texas area and DCYC is proud to have one of the first competitive fleets!
