Opti and Laser Race Teams

Opti and Laser Race Teams are both intensive instructional racing programs requiring a significant investment of time and resources by both the participants and their families. The Opti Race Team has capacity for 9 sailors in total, and the Laser Race Team has capacity for 6 sailors in total.  The program consists of seven weeks of instruction following Junior Week (June 26 through August 14th) from world-class professional coaches, Diego Revecca and Alejandro Cloos. Participants sail Optis, Lasers or Laser Radials.

The cost for the Race Teams (for members who register and pay by the deadline) is $1,070 for members, which includes Junior Week ($1,120 commencing April 21).  Instruction is more effective when the instructor can add new material each week, therefore instruction and training for this program is cumulative, and participants who miss sessions will have to make arrangements to catch up outside of practice. Junior sailors who are not registered for Opti Race Team or Laser Race Team before Junior Week may have the opportunity to join the desired team at the conclusion of Junior Week on a space available basis.
