PUNTA GORDA — With a regional Sunfish regatta set for this fall, the second an-nual Charlotte Harbor Re-gatta set for next winter, and a disabled sailing associa-tion’s world championship regatta set for January 2012. it’s beginning to look a lot like community-sailing advocate Dennis Peck’s dreams are finally coming true.
But the materialization of the dream still has a way to go, said
Peck, the director of the Char-lotte Harbor Community Sail-ing Center.
He said he’s trying to find a public basin in the city or Charlotte County that could be equipped with floating docks wide enough for wheelchairs, a hoist or two for both boats and people, and some land to store boats. That’s what’s needed to fulfill his dream of creating a sailing center for both able-bodied and disabled sailors.

Regatta puts Charlotte Harbor on the map
