Billy, Mica and Cora Hanson received an Optimist sailboat for X-mas. The Hanson family now own two Opti's and are looking for a third. Father Jamie has been working hard to building a fleet of summer Opti's and even has been working on an Ice Opti.
The Hanson boat is a sister ship to Thor Rosten's boat. The Dan Quiram family owned the Opti and sailed it on Lake Pewaukee. The boat is a mid 90's model built by Johnson Boat Works of White Bear Mn. During the 90's Johnson BW was the major supplier of Opti's in the midwest. Many ILYA clubs bought "fleets" of boat for their youth sailing programs. The boats are very well built and are great for our beginner sailors.
