Major Upcoming Regattas
12th Annual Harkers Island Sunfish Regatta, Harkers Island, NC, August 2-4 The Island Wind Race, held on Saturday, is often described as an obstacle course where sailors choose which direction they circumnavigate the island, typically with a reliable sea breeze. Post race appetizers, beverages, a Low Country boil dinner and videotape replay of the race are included and this year’s party features a rum cake dessert contest. Sunday’s schedule includes breakfast and short-course racing in the morning followed by lunch and an awards presentation. Old, but seaworthy boats can choose to compete in the new “Beater” class and the event can be an allout race or simply a memorable outing.
