September 14-15, 2024, Optimist sailors from the West Coast gathered at the California Yacht Club to mark the 2024 West Coast Championships. The conditions were moderate at 8-10 knots with a medium swell. The course was a trapezoid, and the race committee aimed to sail four races per day, a total of 8 races and one dropped race. The SBYSF sent sailors Scofield McLean, Dylan McLean, and Aiden Mcnellis in hopes of qualifying for this year's USODA Team Trials. All the sailors did well, qualifying for the top half. Scofield McLean placed 6th, Dylan McLean placed 28th, and Aiden McNellis placed 31st. In order to qualify for USODA Team Trials, sailors needed to place in the top 25% out of 106 participants. Scofield McLean was the only sailor to qualify for Team Trials (Congrats Scofield McLean!).
