The annual Otago Optimist Sumer series has come to a conclusion after seven races held by six yacht clubs were run in Dunedin.
Traffic Management & Control sponsored this series to be at no cost to sailors, and this generosity has changed the face of optimist racing in Dunedin, lifting competition to a new high and supporting all Dunedin yacht clubs.
Through using each of the regional yacht club’s principle race days, Coach Peter Graham initiated a weekly blog of tips for the kids to stay tuned to, and provided racing skins, log books and even sourced the prizes.
2012 Champions:
