Wing Foiling Around Martha’s Vineyard: Support Nevin Sayre’s Personal Challenge
Join us in an exciting and unique fundraising event to support Martha’s Vineyard Community Services! This summer, renowned sailor Nevin Sayre will undertake the personal challenge to Wing Foil 55 miles around the picturesque coastline of Martha’s Vineyard. To sail the straight line distance, he will likely have to tack/jibe thru 80-100 miles. Many will remember the Vineyard Windsurfing Challenge that Nevin organized 1988-2008 to benefit MVCS and honor his mom, Harriet Hart Sayre, who was a long time member of the MVCS Board.
