Opti Racing: Green and RWB
Admission into the Opti Racing team requires a recommendation from the coaching staff to ensure your sailor is ready. Opti racers compete in NBYA regattas and may also travel to others out of state. Students may also elect to join the Team Race Team, which is a separate Wednesday program. Students are required to bring their own boat.
Meets: 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM, M Tu Th F.
- In the morning practice, boats are expected to be rigged by 9:15. Some sailors may need to arrive earlier to meet this standard.

Note - Please do not store boat at EGYC outside of June and September.

Request for a refund due to an emergency: Please contact the GBSA Treasurer at treasurer@gbsa.info and explain the cause for cancellation. We will work with you to find a fair solution.
