All Colie Optimist dinghys include Colie upgrades*at no extra charge.
"Colie upgrades are precisely what make a Colie Optimist such a great value."

The following Pro Shop upgrades & substitutions are supplied as standard equipment on all Colie Optimists:

Optimists have earned their long standing reputation for quality by ensuring that every Optimist they manufacture is built to the same exacting standards. They achieve truly consistant results because their designers have engineered every aspect of the boat (some other manufacturers splash/copy or reverse engineer) and because Winner Optimists are manufactured in the most controlled environment possible. In fact, Winner has the only temperature and humidity controlled Optimist factory in the world!

When outfitting and preparing an Optimist, we draw upon our experience and expertise to make each and every system work as smoothly and safely as possible. It is not any one specific thing - but a series of refinements, modifications and add-ons which result in an optimal package for your sailor.

Basically we equip and prepare each boat as if it were our own child's. It is called "attention to detail" and we do not fret about the additional time and expense, nor do we charge our customers for these upgrades.
