The 2009 USODA Great Lakes Championship regatta, hosted by Lorain Sailing and Yacht Club in Lorain, Ohio was an event for the record books. With light and shifty breeze throughout day 1. The race committee was able to challenge the sailors with a true course that provided difficult navigation through the constant oscillating winds.
Day 2 proved to be a test of strength and deft understanding of race tactics as the winds provided 18-25 knots of force to blow the sailors quickly across a long and trying windward-leeward course. The sailors swiftly navigated the legs, twice around to demonstrate their abilities in all conditions aboard the world's largest one-design fleet! Opti sailors are awesome!In the end, the top 18 sailors at Great Lakes Championship regatta qualified for the 2010 USODA Team Trials Invitational Regatta. Congratulations to everyone!
