Dear Opti Families,

 We are all very excited and looking forward to the USODA Sunshine State Championship at the Martin County Sailing Center in Jensen Beach, FL on March 8-9!  This is an LYC supported event and all our Opti Fleets (Gold, Silver & Green) are invited to participate.  Below find some important information regarding this event.
Please sign up on the LYC Blog to let us know that you are planning on attending, if you need a spot on the trailer and if you can volunteer to tow a coach boat to the event.  Please take the time to update this infoon the blog promptly so we can plan the logistics accordingly.

Registration; Entry Fee
For those that are not registered yet, please be aware that there will be a $25 late fee ($135 total) if registration is completed after February 26th and a very late fee of $50 ($160 total) if you registered February 27th through March 5th.

LYC trailer Loading & Unloading
All LYC boats and equipment MUST be loaded by Thursday, March 6th.  LYC Truck &Trailer will be on site for unloading on Saturday, 8th at 8:00am.  Note: For this event we are expecting a full trailer, so please take blades, dollies and gear bags with you if it is possible.

Coaches
Juan Carlos Romero & Markus Edegran (Gold & Silver Fleets)
Julia Melton & Kyle Pond (Green Fleet)
As you can see we have lined up (2) coaches at each course based on participation.  This means we will need (4) volunteers to tow our coach boats to the event.

The top 25% of Championship Fleet team trials eligible competitors, as defined by the USODA, based on the final results using the total number of boats registered in both the Championship and Green Fleets, may receive invitations to compete in the 2014 USODA Team Trials.
