Seidel Wrightsville Beach-Beaufort Race

This is looking to be a BIG event with some great competition! You knew it as the Wachovia Cup, WGOR, Offshore Race, or simply the Inlet to Inlet race. Regardless, it's the premier distance race in North Carolina, won by some of the best sailors in the Southeast. In 2009, we have some great boats planning to attend. More soon!

Teamwork heading to Beaufort!

To Race, To Race,
Perchance to Win
by Bill Walsh

Some interesting ideas proposed by Murray including the concern regarding the apathy surrounding WBORA in relation to the general public (and even those with sailboats).  Murray makes some compelling points.  In addition, the article contains some excellent shots of past WBORA action along with more shots of Sundance on the water. Jump to the link above and read the Flash based version within the March issue in the archives.

Participation is the key to a great future for WBORA. Winning is not everything, lots boats out there improving their skills followed by good fellowship at socials and raft ups makes sailing fun. We have a lot of experienced crew out here looking for rides. Skippers, that can be great way to learn more about sailing. Also, the old hands around the club are full of advice and help for the less experienced.
