WEDNESDAY NIGHT OPTI RACING SERIES

Beginning June 16th, Wednesday night at 6pm is the La Belle Yacht Club sanctioned Opti Race Series. Students from the Intermediate-Advanced class are eligible to race in the Junior or Senior fleet depending on age. Sailors enrolled in beginner opti classes are allowed to race at the discretion and decision of the instructors for safety purposes.

The Opti Race Series is run with an official judge and start and finish lines. Competitive racing is a great way to develop skills and is a lot of fun! If there's no wind, the kids create other fun!
