Heffernans Capture HOT 9 Wayfarer Win
2020.11.06  A well-matched group of three Wayfarers (Eric Rasmussen photo above) joined 7 Flying Scots, 6 420's and a lone Laser Oct. 24-25 for Lake Townsend's annual HOT Regatta. Light flukey airs were best handled by the veteran team of Jim Heffernan and wife, Linda, who scored three close wins before inclement weather caused the rest of the weekend's racing to be abandoned. More here.

Late-October WoW Regatta Brings Hopeful End
to the North's Stunted 2020 season
Our depressed 2020 sailing season came to a promising end with the Wayfarers on Wamplers Regatta hosted by the McCreedy family on Wamplers Lake (above) Oct. 24-25. Winners with a string of firsts in the six-race series were Peggy Menzies (r) and Kai Dolan. Congratulations, Kai and Peggy. More here.
