World Class Sailing in Dominican Republic
Optimist Sailing Championship in Boca Chica
To prepare to host the 50th International Optimist Dinghy Association
(IODA) World Sailing Championship (15-26 July 2012), the Santo Domingo
Yacht Club hosted a Pre-World Championship for the North American
continent. The event took place from 11-17 July in Boca Chica and around
100 young competitors from the Americas were expected.
The Optimist is the first sailboat for sailors wanting to learn to
sail at an early age. Both the pre-world and the world events are
organized by the Santo Domingo Yacht Club and the Dominican Optimist
Association (ADO) with the support of the Dominican Sailing Federation.
Andrea Garrochategui de Pacheco is the president of the tournament
organizing committee.
