Looking for spar fittings and parts? Visit our Spar Fittings page.
Replacement or upgraded optimist masts are available in a variety of configurations, from the race-ready Optimax Mk3 and Mk4 racing masts to entry level race to intermediate Optiparts Silver mast.
The standard Opti boom is 40mm in diameter, with different diameters available for different sailor weights in our range of racing booms. Check out the Opti Silver Regatta Boom 40mm for an entry level to intermediate race level boom or Optimax MK3 and MK4 racing booms.
The sprit pole attaches to the top of the sail and the sprit halyard to help tension the sail. Like the various Opti masts and booms, there are several sprit pole options designed to work with the various spar set ranges.
Selecting the right individual spar or spar set can be confusing, but does not have to be! Major factors to consider are sailor ambition (sailing well and desire to race vs more entry level), sailor weight, and cost. Generally speaking, 'Club' spars are designed for entry level sailors, The Optiparts 'Silver' spars are great for entry level to intermediate racers, and the Optimax spar collection is ideal for the top end or active juior racer.
