The hull of the O'pen BIC was designed with fun sailing as the priority. It is a modern boat where the hull is as open as possible, thereby leaving the helmsman completely free to move around and trim the boat to any wind and water conditions.

At MSA, O'pen BICs are used by the Opti beginning, advanced, and the 9-13 Adventure Sailing classes. This is a fun boat with a large international fan base. The emphasis is on simplicity, fun, and safety.
