Cleveland Race Week

Sailing has its ups and downs. Cleveland Race Week, hosted by Edgewater Yacht Club was a day of little wind and difficult shifts. Sailors from around Lake Erie and other awesome areas of Western New York and PA came to enjoy the venue and sailing activities. Here is a small picture (you can click on it to see more detail) of some of the sailors waiting for some wind between races.

USODA Great Lakes Champs

Elliott Corrigan really is an Opti sailor. He attended the USODA Great Lakes in Grosse Pointe, MI. this summer and learned just how competitive the US Opti fleet can be.
The regatta was a lot of fun for Elliott and David Hein, both amazed by the hospatility deomnstrated by the employees and members at Grosse Pointe Yacht Club. Both boys are begging to sail there as often as they can!

CORK Opti 2008

CORK was an event that will probably never be topped. The venue is perfect for Opti sailing, the raace management was awesome and the whole experience clearly indicated they love to sail in Kingston!

The Wind Gods were not smiling on us this year for CORK, but the sailing was a true test of boat handling, knowledge and focus. David Hein (pictured to the right leading at the windward maark) demonstrated his abilities and steady growth with his best overall finish in a major regatta to date. What an awesome sailor! CORK will surely be on our have to list for many years to come.

Vermillion Boat Club

Check out Ian Moran at his first out of club regatta in July at Vermillion Boat Club.

Ian impressed everyone with a third place finish overall! We are all expecting great sailing from Ian in the Opti fleet!
