a lovely North Carolina sailing weekend
for Wayfarers in the Governor's Cup

Mother Nature served up a perfect sailing weekend for some 50+ dinghies entered in the 52nd annual Governor's Cup Regatta held June 20-21 on Kerr Lake in North Carolina (above). Our two active NC Wayfarers, Jim and Linda Heffernan and Richard Johnson with daughter, Alyssa (below) represented our Class ably as always. Click here to enjoy Richard's report on the proceedings.
