We are thrilled to once again host three days of fun, challenging and inspirational racing for Optimist sailors. The championship comes to Sail Newport on varying years and it’s always a great opportunities for sailors to test their skills against other racers. Sail Newport will provide a learning experience for beginners in the Green Fleet and advanced racing in the championship fleet. Couple that with the backdrop of Newport, RI and it’s a memorable and fun event for the entire family.
