FSC just bought a container in from Singapore, arrived two weeks ago, been used at a regatta, other then that brand new, north sail, trailer, covers, under $3k I think contact the FSC dingy captain if your intrested, may be one or two left.....
Yes the bic is a lot more fun and you have a better chance of the kids staying in sailing if they sail a bic because they go faster
More Sailing champions have come out of opis than any other dinghy. they may not look so flash but considering pretty much every club in the world sails them and they are the only ISAF dinghy exclusively for under 16 year olds. once a child can sail an opi well they can move onto any boat fast like a bic or slower like a Mirror. Best boats out there to learn on
