Cancelled Opti Racer Session 2 – 2021

The Racing Optimist class is an exciting opportunity to fully experience the challenge of sailing at a higher level. Designed for students who who have shown their ability to sail at a high level in the Opti Explorer or Advanced courses. The OPTI racers will develop racing concepts including starts, upwind and downwind sailing, as well as boat trim for speed, racing rules, strategy, tactics, and more. US Sailing Certified instructors lead students in drills, practice races, and adventure downriver. The class meets Monday – Friday from 9:00-3:30 for two weeks.

On select Fridays, the Opti Racers are encouraged to compete in local TCYS regattas. These regattas are held around the metro area. There is a $20 registration fee for each regatta.

Prerequisite: 1-2 weeks of OPTI Explorer (and instructor approval) or Opti Advanced.

Every student will receive:

  • The annual Saint Croix Sailing School T-Shirt.
  • The Little Red Book.  The Little Red Book is US Sailing’s certification system.  As sailors progress, instructors will sign off on the skills mastered.
