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.

Congratulations USA Team Racers

One, Two, Four! Day two of the North American Team Racing Championships was held in near perfect team racing conditions and all three US teams rose to the occassion. Although they didn't get a well deserved day of rest the entire team went out and put on a great show.
