INTERMEDIATE/ADVANCED OPTI CLASS

 

Designed for sailors who are confident in a boat alone and are able to sail around a triangular course.  This class fine-tunes basic skills and introduces race skills; start lines, basic race rules and improved boat handling. We strongly encourage intermediate sailors to sail in the 6pm Wednesday night races and some off-lake regattas.  There is also a weekly sailing school series race that takes place during class and includes a trophy at the annual LYC trophy banquet.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT OPTI RACING SERIES

 

COST: $30 for trophy eligibility


Beginning Wednesday night June 14th, 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! Pack the cooler, bring some snacks and hop on a spectator boat to enjoy beautiful La Belle evenings as you watch your children race their optis.
