2017 Optimist Nationals

Tuesday, 10th January 2017

Our SYC Optimist fleet have been representing our club at the 2017 Optimist Nationals in Largs Bay Sailing Club in SA.  SYC had a great team with 10 sailors participating and enjoying their boats in fantastic sailing conditions. For many this was their first Nationals and it was a fantastic experience and they have all met so many new sailing friends.
