Each year the Opti class in the US (USODA) holds an invitational regatta to select the US National Opti Team to represent the United States at regattas around the world. In 2010, the regatta was hosted by the Texas Corinthian Yacht Club in Kemah, TX and proved to be an exciting event full of wind, waves and action. The top 200 Optimist sailors in the country competed for top honors and all left the beautiful venue grinning ear to ear.
