Opti program finishes 2018 sailing season strong with 1,2,3,5...
Bobby Lippincott, Opti Program Manager
Saturday, January 12, 2019 was the annual CBYRA (Chesapeake Bay Yacht Racing Association) Junior Awards. We had an awesome team for the Summer 2018 CBYRA Sailing Season, with over 16 RWB sailors and over 16 Green Fleet sailors competing for the CBYRA High Point Series. We attended over 15 regattas around the Bay and across the East Coast. Traveling up and down from Cape Cod, MA, to Miami, FL. Our Optimist Program sailors had an awesome experience traveling and training around the Bay and beyond, making many new friendships along the way. Our team showed their strength this past year, dominating most of the Chesapeake Bay events, and eight of our sailors finished in the top ten of the Chesapeake Bay Yacht Racing Association this past summer!
A big thank you goes out to our friends at SSA for stepping up to host. A big thanks also to all the Annapolis Yacht Club Opti Sailors for participating in so many regattas this past summer and performing so well at all these events. You all represented our burgee and we are extremely proud of you!
Congratulations to our Opti Sailors who won some remarkable awards over this past year:
Kyle Reinecke

Ava Cornell
won the Joan Laurel Watts Memorial Trophy – This year’s award went to the 1st Place Female Winner in the Optimist Class at the Maryland State Championship.
