Construction Begins

March 4, 2010 4:28 pm

Construction of Ramp #2Construction has begun for the US Optimist Nationals in 2010.  Shown here is Opti Ramp #2 on the premises of Deltaville Boatyard, our generous Local Host for Opti Staging.  This is the first of three ramps that will be constructed.  A few more photos of ramp #2 can be seen here.  In the first picture the sailing area is in the horizon.  In the third you can see the FBYC docks on the creek side of the club campus between the two boats and across the creek.  Soon we’ll be posting a satellite image of the entire regatta site including Opti Ramp #2.

    That’s really impressive! Is the ramp going to be partially submerged or floating atop the water? I’ve seen a lot of people slipping on ramps that get green growth on them at regattas, very tricky. You have been doing a great job on your site and your updates.

    Best Regards,

    The ramp pictured simply leads to a small beach. The other not-yet-constructed ramps go down to floating docks that will be atop the water.
