On Friday 15 Opti Sailors went down the street to compete in the very competitive Stage Harbor Opti Invitational. The day started off slow with a long sail out of the channel into some thick fog. By 11:30 the weather cleared up and races were sailed. Only a few raceswere sailed, and again our sailors persevered with consistency and focus. At his first Regatta Colin Steiger won an impressive fourth place in Green Fleet! Drew Kelly and Ellie Mitchell tied for first place in White Fleet, with Drew Kelly winning the tie breaker. Brian Mitchell came in a close third place.
In Blue Fleet Michael Lacava sailed into third place and Brad Kelly tied for fourth place, unfortunately losing the tie breaker and finishing in fifth.Congratulations again to all of our opti sailors who participated, it is great to see so much progress! Let's hope we have even better results this Monday at Stone Horse's Opti X-Treme regatta! I hope to see all of our young sailors on the water, and friends of Stone Horse cheering them on!
Thank you to everyone for attending the presentation by Ken Read last night. There was quite a turn out, and hopefully the amazing video footage and awesome stories will inspire our younger sailors to achieve great things at the level of circumnavigation.
