B.C. Provincial Optimist Championship 2006
Dominic Fritz is the 2006 overall winner and BC Optimist Dinghy Champion
The 2006 BC Optimist Dinghy Championships were held in conjunction with the
Fall Dinghy Champs - hosted by the Royal Victoria YC Oct 2 & 3.
With some 29 Optimists (17 in the competitive and 12 in the green fleets) we
had great turn-out. Especially since running the event in the fall, we've
always seen numbers drop off from the summer due to sailors spending time back
in other sports.
The organizers pulled off an amazing job in short order as they had to cope
with over 124 registered boats - together with parents over 300 people to feed
at the Saturday night BBQ. The event had strong & shifty winds under darkend
skies the first day and then a sunny but light wind finish the second day.
Mixed with tides in Oak Bay - just off the RVYC marina, it made for a good
challenge for everyone.
