NESS’s Opti Race Team was out in full force this month! Our racing team has been competing at local and non-local events for both 420, Opti Red, White and Blue and Opti Green.

What is even more special is that these finishes in Opti RWB are ALL GIRLS!  NESS has won 4 of these 5 events, finishing 2^nd, and finishing 1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd, and 4^th in 3 of the 5 events. NESS has won white fleet in every event, red fleet in every event, and blue fleet in all but one event!

These girls have been working hard and finishing strong!
