Youth Small Boat Regatta
Results & Photos
We had a great day of sailing with ten participants: four Sunfish and six Optimists.
Winds were 5 - 10 mph allowing us to get in three races for both the Optimist and Sunfish classes.
We then moved on to a great barbeque picnic and awards ceremony.
Everyone had a great time.
