Last weekend, the Royal BVI Yacht Club attended the 11th annual Sol Optimist Regatta Championship in St. Maarten.
The regatta featured 34 sailors from around the region competing in either the Championship or Green fleet.
The RBVIYC Championship Fleet sailors included Anya and Max Reshetiloff, Kyle Roose, Ryan Lettsome and Nathan Haycraft.
Noah George and Nici Haycraft competed in the Green Fleet.
On the first day, the conditions challenged the sailors with shifting winds from five to 15 knots. The race course was set inside of Simpson Bay. By the end of the first day, Nathan was in the third place overall in the Championship Fleet.
On the second day, the course was moved outside of Simpson Bay and sailors faced consistent winds.
The longer course benefited Kyle Roose and Nathan. Kyle improved from 11th to ninth place and Nathan improved from third to second place overall.
In the Green Fleet, Noah and Nici raced consistently all weekend to finish fourth and fifth, respectively.
The team is coached by Taylor Penwell.
