The Opti World Championships has come to a close.
Official Results below.
Chase was our top Bermudian ( 111th place) folllowed by the youngest member of our team, Campbell ( 113). Mikey finished up at 120th, Ceci at 123rd and Benn at 130th place.
Unfortunately the race committee was only able to finish race 9 from the previous day ( for fleets that were not able to sail) and complete race 10 for all fleets
The team sailed extremely well for the conditions and , although there were some disappointments , they all had a great time in Garda!
After all the packing up of boats etc we were able to get our for a quick dinner to celebrate Benn's birthday and then rushed off to the prize giving which was followed by trading on a grand scale. The team all came out with a bagful of trades!
