The Optimist fleet will have a special division with the results making up part of their NSW traveller’s trophy series. Super coach Rob Brewer will provide on-water coaching for the Opti kids.

North Sails Australia has donated an Opti Sail as a lucky entry prize and have also provided a special on sails for all the entrants of the regatta.
