There is something beautiful and peaceful about lounging around on the shores of White Rock Lake while watching the wildlife and the boats sailing by. And from Friday, June 8 to Sunday, June 10, there will be plenty more action on the water as the White Rock Boat Club is hosting the 2012 Butterfly Single-Handed National Championship Regatta.

The Butterfly is a one-design sailing dinghy that was originally meant for a crew of two but is now commonly raced single-handed. It is about 12-feet long and has an 18-foot mast. All racers will be masters at their craft, so it promises to be a fun and exciting race.
