Wauquiez Optio9

Optio (from the latin to choose): A rank in the Roman army, The Optio is the second in command of the Centurion... 

The very first Day Sailer in the brand’s history, the Optio incorporates all the Wauquiez hallmark features: as all the models within the other ranges, it boasts the unmistakable sophistication, luxury and craftsmanship.

Stylish
Sleek, timeless lines, fluidity of the curves, uncluttered deck and teak covering the cockpit, flush deck hatches: the Optio has her own marked personality.

Fast
The Optio9 has been resolutely designed for high performance, with her progressive chine hull and sleek deck; the standard model includes full racing equipment.

Efficient and easy to handle
Efficient helming with a crew: the removable seats ensure clear cockpit space to facilitate the movement of the crew.
Fun helming single-handed or with a family crew: the seats reappear, the winches are within easy reach of the helmstation, self-tacking jib facilitates manoeuvers and the retractable bow sprit allows for the spinnaker to be hoisted effortlessly.

Versatile
Forfeiting nothing in terms of seaworthiness, the Optio9 offers a surprisingly generous, comfortable interior for a 9-meter Day Sailer.
Retractable keel, 2.54m max beam, removable mast without backstays, a unique lifting point for launching at yacht-clubs… the Optio is towable, for easy access to all sailing areas.

State-of-the-art construction:
The Optio9 is entirely built at the Wauquiez shipyard using the same building technology as for the other models of the brand.
