Sailing the Optimist dinghy

Today I came across a nice picture that shows the parts of the Optimist dinghy.

I’ve never knew the English terminology, and I pretty much forgot most of the terminology in Russian as well.  But it’s a nice reminder of my childhood.  I’ve spent years sailing this boat when I was a kid.  Here are the a couple of pictures of me doing just that.
