On the Pasquotank River, Elizabeth City NC - First Year!

Two great events, one great day!

While setting the date for the Albemarle Hospice Regatta, it became apparent to combine it with our already established premiere sailing event, the Archer Farmer Cup.

Archer Farmer

Dedicated to a life-long love of sailing, Archer has contributed more to sailing in our community than any other person in the past or in the foreseeable future. With more than 50 years of racing both locally and on the Chesapeake, Archer continues to give back to the community even now, helping to head up our summer youth sailing program.

"Arch was my sailing mentor. If not for him, I would have never returned to the thrilling world of sailing,” says Jim Elliott, a member of the Pasquotank River Yacht Club. "He is also the person who recruited me as an instructor for our summer youth sailing program."
