LYC Sailors at the Miami OCR!

“Eight Olympic class events raced for medals on Saturday’s finale of the 2013 ISAF Sailing World Cup Miami. Once again, conditions on the emerald waters of Biscayne Bay mixed with the high level of competition and medal race urgency, allowed these sailors to evaluate their abilities and determine where they rank among the world’s best.” 

Many of the competitors and champions are connected with the LYC program as either sailors or coaches. Next time you see these folks around be sure to congratulate them for a job well done. Coordinate with the sailing office if your sailor is interested in learning more about these exciting boat classes. For more information about the Miami OCR check out http://mocr.ussailing.org/
