A hail from Optimist Team Bahamas to all our Opti friends, many of whom assisted tremendously after OptiNAM 2019 in helping to rebuild some of our fleets in the aftermath of Hurricane Dorion.

We are so blessed to be a part of such a caring class and are looking forward to joining everyone at the North Americans and The Worlds this year. We are proud to say we will be coming with the largest teams we have ever had - thirteen to the North Americans and five to the Worlds. Cannot wait to see everyone.
