Stage Harbor Opti Regatta







We had a record number of CYC sailors in this year's Stage Harbor Opti Regatta - 14!! With the help of their two coaches, Oriane and Catie, we had sailors in both the green fleet and championship fleet.




The pictures are from the green fleet. The day starting with US Sailing's Gary Jobson giving the kids a pep talk. We had almost every kind of weather and situation...fog, no wind, more wind, capsizes, broken motorboats, rescues of our own kids & parents (in their motorboat), as well as, rescuing one drifting opti from Stone Horse Yacht Club. We had many new sailors in the green fleet who showed focus, bravery, camaraderie, enthusiasm for swimming & lunch, and sound sailing.

In the end we had a great day with Julia Fuller taking home a big 1st place win in the Blue Fleet and Oriane and CYC winning the sportsmanship award.

Lots of lessons learned and great stories made...what an adventure!
