OPTIMIST TOP TACTICS SET
The Top Tactics set is a hands-on coaching tool designed to bring Optimist racing to life off the water. Created by young sailor Evie Rogerson, it’s the perfect way to practise starts, tactics, and manoeuvres anywhere — from the living room floor to the classroom at sailing clinics.
A Note From Evie
“I created Top Tactics because I wanted a way to visualise
practice races and understand situations off the water — to think things
through and see ideas in a visual way. But it turns out there are sooo many
uses for it!
My hope is that this set helps other sailors, like it’s helped me, to better
understand racing and feel more confident when they’re on the start line,
rounding marks, and in all racing situations.”
– Evie Rogerson
