The Angostura Tobago Sailing Week- The Grand Finale
The final day of racing at the 25th Angostura Tobago Sailing Week 2007 dawned on a fleet anxious to head out to the start line off scenic Pigeon Point on the west coast of Tobago. After three previous days of hectic racing and a very relaxing layday, the conditions on Friday were exceptional, 18 – 20 knts, bright sunshine. With many places on the podium still hanging in the balance, and a lot of races to get through, no one could rest on their laurels. It was crucial for everyone to do their best in every race order to secure a winning position.

| Alexander Zimmerman, overall winner - Dean Barnes Photo | Sailing fast isn't the only reason why Peru’s Alexander Zimmerman won the 2005 Optimist North American Championships, sailed out of the island of Tobago, June 26 to July 2. The other half of the equation was sailing smart. The secret to 14-year-old Zimmerman’s success, he says, is “concentration.”

Rain Squalls & Black Flags for Second Day of Racing at Optimist North American Championships.
 |
| Skippers roll their optis into Store Bay, Tobago for the start of Day 2 racing. Dean Barnes Photo | Junior sailors launched their Optimists dinghies into Store Bay today under cloudy skies and light winds blowing 5 to 8 knots. Rolling clouds throughout the morning made for shifts that zigzagged out of opposite compass settings as chaotically as the twists and turns on Tobago roadways. Race one got off without a hitch, yet 17 sailors were black-flagged at the start of the second race. Winds built to 15 to 18 knots before a squall that hit about 2 p.m. during the third race. Then, the winds died and the race committee was unable to get off a 4th race for the day.
