2019 Qingdao International Optimist Sailing Camp And Regatta
7th - 15th August 2019
Expressions Of Interest to be Sought
New Zealand has previously sent a team to this regatta in 2012, 2014 and again in 2016 and intends to sign an exchange agreement with them for the coming season. The experience gained from past regattas would suggest that, whilst it was a fantastic experience, it would perhaps be best viewed as an opportunity to experience a different sailing location and culture and use it as a means to build familiarity in traveling internationally to a regatta.

Important information for Anchor Aims Sailors
Hi All coaches and Sport coordinators for Yachting
24 more days till the start of the 2018 Anchor Aims Games for Yachting. To help with your sailors preparation I have attached a letter and list to give you all an idea of the expectations of the safety check to be completed during Registration on Saturday 08/09/18.
Also remember the 'Pimp the Opti' session. This will be valuable information offered by the Sail makers themselves about tuning your sails to suit the conditions.
We will also have the Logo tech representative onsite so you can purchase your Aims sports wear and memorabilia.
Look forward to seeing you all on the 8th sept!
Regards
