Saturday Race Series
Saturday was a huge success having a bunch of optis show up as well as some 420s to race. The day started a little slow but once the sailors were out on the docks, it went by fast. The Opti and 420 line got off three solid races throughout the two hour period ending the day with awards to the top three sailors. If anyone is interested, call the office to get more details.
