2006 Optimist New Englands Championships:
In early August, the Niantic Bay Yacht Club (NBYC) in CT hosted the 2006 Optimist New Englands Championships. The USVI was well represented with five sailors, two of which are members of the St. Croix Yacht Club. It was a beautiful venue.
The town of East Lyme worked with the NBYC and allowed them the use of McCook Point and Hole-In-The-Wall Beach to accomodate the 373 boats that sailed in the event.
The championship fleet had 336 entries, of which 132 were in the red fleet (13-15 year olds), 162 were in the blue fleet (11 and 12 year olds), and 42 were in the white fleet. The green fleet saw 37 competitors.
Here are the VI results:
- Billy Gibbons finished 8th overall and 7th in the red fleet.
- Ian Barrows finished 17th overall and 5th in the blue fleet.
- Alec Tayler finished 49th overall and 18th in the blue fleet.
