Welcome Guam Opti sailors!

A warm welcome to three sailors from Guam who are here competing in the Optimist Intermediate fleet. One of the parents, Eric Paulino, said "we are a small developing country and we're glad to bring our sailors to expose them to a world class international regatta. It's a valuable experience." Great to have you here!
