OPTIMIST RACE TEAM



The DRYC Optimist Race Team travels year round to regattas throughout the Southern California region. Practice will be conducted on Sundays along with the beginner Optimist class. Groups will be split up between beginners, Green Fleet, and Championship Fleet depending on experience, class chemistry, and participation. The DRYC Optimist Race Team is expected to attend all Southern California Youth Yacht Racing Association (SYCCRA) events including the Carrie and Harken Series. Trailer towing and hotel stays will be a common aspect of regatta travel for parents. This team is a great way to introduce your child to the more competitive aspects of youth yacht racing.
