A total of 47 RWB Fleet sailors arrived at the Lake Beulah Yacht Club to compete in the 28th annual LBSS Opti Regatta. The RWB Championship Fleet PRO, Kent Haeger, started the first Championship race promptly at 10 am with light winds. Pine’s John Lieber took the first race followed by 2019 champion Henry Ackley, also of Pine. A second race was also sailed in light air. Charlie Bruss followed a fifth place in the first race with a bullet in the second.
Unfortunately, Mother Nature brought moisture to the course after lunch. A thunderstorm cleared the lake of Opti’s and turned off the breeze. Without wind, the regatta ended with Bruss taking home the title with six points. He was followed by Ethan Bowman (9 points) of Oshkosh and Henry Ackley (10 points). For results, click here.
