While the rest of the FBYC Junior Team raced on the Bay, Alex Jacob was representing the United States in the North American Optimist Championships in Vallarta Mexico from July 9-14. Alex was chosen for the team based on his outstanding performance at the U.S. Team Trials in May. And boy did Alex come through with flying colors! Out of 185 international top-flight sailors, Alex finished 9th overall. He was the 3rd U.S. sailor in the competition. Congratulations Alex, and the FBYC Opti Team welcomes you and Erin back in time for the U.S. Nationals!
