Sailing: BODA Selection Series
The Bermuda Optimist Dinghy Association (BODA) completed their selection series on Sunday to determine the local team of sailors who will represent Bermuda at the 2012 IODA South American Championship in Argentina this coming March.
Five races were sailed on Sunday which were added to the 11 sailed back in November during BODA’s National Championships. Rory Caslin maintained his winning form in the light conditions and was top sailor for the day and the series, edging out Chase Cooper.
