Intro to Opti Race
On Tuesday in Intro to Opti Race they practiced tacking on the whistle. One whistle= tack. Two whistles= 360. Three whistles= safety position. Four whistles= capsize and re-right the boat. Coaches Kelsey and Laura are very impressed with the progress that these new racers have made this summer. Congratulations to Walter Sullivan who participated in the Hyannisport Green Fleet Regatta yesterday. Another congrats to CJ McKenna and Salty Walty for sailing in Wianno's regatta last week.
