Alberta Winds Optimist League

After three regattas the Alberta Winds Optimist League has a new leader.  With Hannah Meers away at the North American championships David Cormack took advantage of two previous second place finishes to take over top place in the standings.  With two regattas left and one drop regatta the final results are still wide open.
