At the Start for the NCYRA Race in Beaufort, NC

Over Memorial Day weekend about 20 boats participated in the NCYRA Championship off of Atlantic Beach. NYRA had Devil Dog, Water Phantom, Blue Print, EZ, and Cotton Picker. The racing on Saturday went from a very light air start to a blustery 20+ kt day
with a fair amount of broken gear. Sunday's races were held in medium air and lots of rain. To the best of my knowledge, the docking injuries were not weather related. Despite the weather it was still great to be on the water racing instead of watching from the beach and thinking "I wish I was cool enough to race on a sailboat."

Make sure your calendars are marked for the Parrot Head Race on July 3, the Hancock Cup on July 9-11, and, very importantly, ICRC #2 in Oriental on July 31 and Aug 1. Click here for more NORs.
