From the 28 - 30 January, 200 under 15's will be competing in Optimist dinghy races along the coast of Torrevieja. The registration period closed earlier this month and young sailors will be travelling from Spain and seven other European countries with their families and technicians to compete in this important and intense championship.
The Optimist is the most renowned and popular dinghy in the sailing world, linked strongly to junior sailing. If you fancy popping along why not take a leisurely stroll along the promenade which starts by the Marina Salinas, opposite the fairground in Torrevieja.
The 29er Class Regional Championship 2011 will also be getting underway on 29th January and continuing the following day. This competition is open to all kinds of pre-Olympic craft and crewed by two people. This event is for 16 to 20 year olds.
Racing will start at noon at Saturday and 10.30 on Sunday. With more than 200 competitors with their individual dingy's on the water it will be an impressive sight. Let's hope the recent cold weather subsides for the weekend.
