We are thrilled to announce the continuation of our partnership with United States Optimist Dinghy Association (USODA) National Team. Following a successful inaugural year, the collaboration will expand for the 2025/2026 season to include the US Development Team, further supporting young sailors in their pursuit of excellence.
With over 25 years of expertise in providing premium sailing and water sports gear, we are committed to ensuring youth sailors have access to top-quality, versatile equipment.
This strengthened partnership between Rooster and the US National Team and Development Team will equip young Optimist sailors with the competitive edge they need to achieve their goals. Sharing core values of excellence, dedication, and the drive to be the fastest on the water, Rooster and USODA are committed to supporting the development of the next generation of sailing champions.
Luke Morrison, CEO of Rooster, expressed his excitement about the ongoing collaboration:
“I’m extremely pleased that, after a successful first year of collaboration with the USODA National Team, we will be continuing our partnership into 2026. At Rooster, we’re passionate about inspiring sailors and helping people truly enjoy their time on the water.
This coming year, our support will grow beyond the National Team to reach the wider USODA membership, and we’re incredibly excited for the opportunity to do so. We wish everyone participating in Opti events across the US a fun-filled – and of course, competitive – season ahead.”
The expanded partnership will not only provide athletes with high-performance sailing apparel but also encourage a culture of learning, growth, and enjoyment on the water. Young sailors will benefit from our dedication to developing gear that meets the demands of competitive racing while ensuring comfort and freedom of movement.
Sarah Chin, UDOSA US National Team Chair added:
"I'm honoured and excited to continue the US National Team Partnership with Rooster. It's a privilege to work alongside a company who shares the mission of supporting the development of top youth racers in the United States. Our Optimist sailors have a passion for performance and Rooster delivers the technical gear young sailors need to reach their potential"
This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to empowering young sailors and nurturing future champions. With our support, the US National Team and Development Team will continue to thrive, embracing every opportunity for competition, personal growth, and fun on the water.
Here's to another exciting season ahead – filled with learning, sun, and the joy of sailing!
