July 21, 2016 15th Annual Harkers Island Regatta Draws 51 Sunfish For Three-day Sailing Event And…they’re off! Not the boats, the crabs! The crowd cajoled and hooted around a ten-foot circle, each hoping their chosen crab would cross the finish line first. Thus began the racing on a historic island off the coast of central North Carolina.

Leading wire-to-wire, Callahan dominated a 32-boat fleet becoming the first woman to win the Wequaquet Lake Regatta in it's 53-year history.

The Pan American Committee confirmed the Sunfish will be the "Open Class," meaning men and women may compete singlehandedly together in 2019 in Lima, Peru.

The summer racing season is in full swing with 3 East Coast Regionals, the North Americans and the Youth NAs all in the next two weeks!

There's just one week to go until the 53rd annual Wequaquet Lake Yacht Club Annual Regatta/Sunfish Regional. This year includes a free clinic on Friday by former North American Champ Bill Brangiforte, lots of great Cape Cod lake racing, and good food/fun ashore!

If you will be competing in the upcoming North American Championship, or any other World Championship qualifying event, please be sure your sail numbers are compliant with our current class rule 3.6.5.

The 2016 Sunfish Upstate New York Regional Championship will be held June 25-26 at the Rochester Canoe Club.

Registration is now open
