The Creed

Members of Team BLUE will strive for greatness in all aspects of sailing including tactics, tuning, sail design and sportsmanship.

What's Team Blue?

A team formed and sponsored by North Sails to raise the level of Optimist sailors worldwide. The scheme was originally started in North America by Team Leader Brian Bissell who wanted to develop and improve Optimist sailing in the United States.  Now this scheme has been taken on by North One Design Europe and through clinics, regatta coaching and sail testing, in addition to current team training, expectations are high for the improvement of our young sailors all over the world.

How do I join the Team?

If you buy a North Optimist sail, you are automatically eligible for Team BLUE membership. All you need to do is fill out the registration form below, there is no entry fee. Once you have registered you will receive an e-mail confirming your username and password, and when your membership is then activated you can log into the Members Only area, here we will give top tips & sailing news, details of training & clinics, and news from other Team BLUE members. We really want to show your achievements, so please send in your sailing profiles, results and regatta reports so that we can post them on this page. We are also going to link into the U.S.A. Team BLUE site, so along with our site for Europe, you will be able to see what Optimist sailors are up to all over the World!
