2007 USODA Nationals begin!!









Over three hundred young sailors began arriving at Lake Minnetonka yesterday under


sunny skies and beautiful breezes. Competitors lined up for registration and measurement


and were promptly rewarded with fabulous goody bags full of souvenirs, efficient


measurement, and lots of warm welcomes from the regatta committee.




The regatta site is divided between two islands and a private beach. Families spent


much of the day unloading boats and getting them to their proper destinations. Several


skippers were able to take advantage of the nice wind and fine tune their sailing expertise


in preparation for the big race.




The Girls Nationals begin this morning under slightly overcast skies and delightful winds.


Pontoon boats are taking skippers, coaches, and spectators to Light House Island where


the race will be staged.




Tune in tonight for more up to the minute highlights and feel free to add you own comments.
