Note from Paul: This coming Saturday Sept. 30^th is the WRBC Commodore's Cup and registration is open. This is a 1 day regatta. Let’s see if the Butterfly’s can be the biggest fleet on the lake. It’s hard to get bigger numbers than those darn Flying Scot’s but I think we can do it! Best part about this regatta is it’s free! (VERY RARE). C’mon out even if you haven’t raced for a while and enjoy some fleet and club comradery.
