Seidel Wrightsville Beach-Beaufort Race
May
21, 2009 ~ Wrightsville Beach, NC
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!

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.
