We are thrilled to say that the 2021 Canadian Optimist Dinghy Association Fall International Qualifier at RCYC was a huge success. This important National event made it possible for 56 Opti sailors from coast to coast to complete a coach clinic and 2 days of racing over Thanksgiving weekend in order to qualify for 2022 International events. We hosted 11 coaches, 40 volunteers and over 70 parents from across the country. All were given a warm welcome to the Island, cozy rooms at the Westin Harbour Castle, and lots of food and fun. The weather was stunning, 8 solid races were competitive, and we were able to provide an equitable regatta opportunity so that sailors across Canada could attend.
Thank you to all who assisted from RCYC and CODA to make this event possible!
