The Flying Scot Great 48 Regatta at Lake Norman Yacht Club is always a fun regatta and a great place to race sailboats. Regatta chair, Carol Sandke, ensured that this year was no exception. Thirty-one Scots signed up which included several multi-time national champions in the Scot fleet and other fleets. Friday night’s welcome dinner included open taps and tasty tacos.
Saturday's weather forecast included thunderstorms, but we got off the 1st race on time in southerly winds of 6-10 mph. After about an hour postponement ashore, to allow a few thunderstorms to roll through, the ...
