orth Carolina State University, along with Bow to Stern Sailing, has been organizing regattas in Oriental since 2015. After Hurricane Florence swept through, NC State Sailing organized a regatta and community clean-up event. Dana Magliola, NC State Sailing head coach said they, “hope to contribute to the recovery of this community that’s supported us so passionately for many years.”

The UNC Wilmington team shifts from starboard to port.

Magiola said he received positive feedback from sailors and schools about the combination regatta/community service event. And so nine teams arrived from eight schools ready to sail on Saturday and clean up Sunday before heading home.

Nine teams from eight schools took part in the Stormpack Regatta.

The schools in attendance were: Davidson College, Duke University, East Carolina University, UNC-Chapel Hill, UNC-Wilmington, Virginia Tech, William and Mary, and hosts NC State. University of North Carolina took first place in the regatta. On Sunday, the sailors split into teams, working in Oriental and in the county.

The William and Mary team tackle South Water St and Hodges.

The next SailPack Regatta will coincide with the Oriental Boat Show. Magiola said several very competitive teams have signed up and looks forward to having the Boat Show and the Regatta at the same time.
