Cowan Lake Sailing Association is taking on the Highlander Class fleet at the 60th annual Pipers regatta this weekend at Lake Norman Yacht Club!

Jason Japikse Tanya Carey and Jamey Carey are killing it. 4 bullets today and only had one mark rounding they were not in first place for all day long!

We've got 3 teams from Cowan Lake competing in this year's Highlander Class National Championships at Louisville Sailing Club!

What a beautiful day we had for our Labor Day Regatta and party! It was a great evening and we loved hanging out with everyone for a great dinner. We'll have races 4 and 5 tomorrow to finish the Regatta.

We also elected our officers for the 2026 season tonight!

Commodore: Ben Henning
Vice Commodore: Tom Antunes
Secretary: Kristy Adams
And continuing as Treasurer: Pete Japikse

Also joining our Board of Governors
Karla Thaxton and Michel Bourgeois!

Congratulations and thank you for serving!

We'd also like to thank Commodore Andy Gardner for his leadership in the 2025 season as well as Katie Nappi and Bob Nelson for their 3 years on the Board!

The rules of sailing are just so simple when you break them down like that! 🤣😂

We are a little less than a week away from our Labor Day regatta and the party following racing on Saturday night!

The weather forecast looks great and I hope everyone joins us for some great racing.

Even if you don't race though, please come out for the party after! We will have some amazing food featuring a handcrafted taco bar. We'll elect our officers for 2026 and have some great beer and wine!

Register now, the price goes up after Monday August 25th!
