To prepare to host the 50th International Optimist Dinghy Association (IODA) World Sailing Championship that will take place from 15-26 July 2012, the Santo Domingo Yacht Club is hosting a Pre-World Championship for the North American continent. The event is taking place 11-17 July in Boca Chica and around 100 young competitors from the Americas are participating. The Optimist is the first sailboat for sailors wanting to learn to sail at an early age.
Both the pre-world and the world events are organized by the Santo Domingo Yacht Club and the Dominican Optimist Association (ADO) with the support of the Dominican Sailing Federation. Andrea Garrochategui de Pacheco is the president of the tournament organizing committee.
The Santo Domingo Yacht Club boasts brand new facilities. The area provides lodging for those coming for the event, and is 15 minutes from Las Americas International Airport. Even better, the site is half an hour from the capital city of Santo Domingo and its Colonial City and a world of restaurants, plus just half an hour from the Juan Dolio beaches and the world of golf and beach of La Romana and Bayahibe. The event is especially attractive to families that may come for sailing and stay on for an additional family vacation week at one of the country's many all-inclusive resorts.
