Team USA

Many of the world's top sailors aged 15 and under gathered to race for gold this summer at the 2010 Optimist North American Championships. Over 200 sailors from North and South America, Europe and Asia competed on Lake Ontario, sailing out of Kingston's Portsmouth Olympic Harbour. The event included the individual Championship and Team Racing Championship, with racing over 6 days from June 27th to July 3rd.

It Takes a Village

Working, waiting, organizing, cheering and consoling, the shore team extends in concentric circles all the way to home sailing centers and yacht clubs. At the outset of racing all of the parents, officials, coaches, friends and supporters at home deserve one gigantic hug and thank you!
