An Optiparts brand since 2000Parts for Laser, ILCA and 420MIRA clothing for juniors and adultsStock in Finland
WINDESIGN IN BRIEF

The Optiparts sister brand for every dinghy sailor

Windesign is a brand of the Dutch company Optiparts Marine Equipment and was founded in 2000. While Optiparts focuses on the Optimist, Windesign serves dinghy sailors more broadly. In 2017 the brand launched the MIRA clothing series, which has grown into a full collection for juniors and adults.

The Windesign range includes hardware for Laser, ILCA and 420 dinghies, tiller extensions, trolleys, bags and clothing. The clothing uses waterproof membrane fabrics, flexible neoprene and UV-protective materials. Laser and ILCA parts are compatible replacements, not original class products.

Marine Import Oy is the official Windesign distributor in Finland. We keep the most common products in stock at our warehouse in Luvia, and stock items ship within 1–3 working days. We also deliver to business customers in the Baltics, Sweden, Denmark, Germany and Poland.
