PCYC Opti Sailors in Florida

Port Credit Yacht Club, located on Lake Ontario, has an emerging Learn to Sail Racing program that has youth sailors participating in various International events.

Over a dozen PCYC sailors made their way to Miami over the Christmas break to train and compete in the US’s largest Christmas season youth regatta – Orange Bowl. Despite the challenging travel restrictions, PCYC sent two trailers of boats and over a dozen sailors were able to compete in three classes – Opti, Laser and 29ers. PCYC had a top 10 result in 29ers and a top 15 in Opti!
