international sailing competition comes to the obx!

This is really exciting! Next week, beginning on Monday, the International Sailing Federation’s A-Class catamaran championships will be held in Outer Banks waters. The A-class catamaran is a small high performing catamaran and it should be pretty thrilling watching them compete. Rob Morris’ article for the Outer Banks Voice lets us in on the fun.
