When maximum on-the-water fun is the goal, it’s tough to beat the O’pen Bic, a wildly popular dinghy that combines a modern design with a durable thermo-formed ABS Plastic hull creating a quick, planing dinghy powered by an easy-to-trim, square-topped mainsail. The boat’s open self-bailing transom yields a beginner-friendly boat that can handle countless capsizes—accidental or otherwise—while generating face-splitting grins on windy days.
