It was in New Bern, NC where Pepsi born, which once promoted itself with the slogan “Join the Pepsi People”. About the same time, a manufacturing plant was built in New Bern to build the San Juan 21 one design. While Pepsi may have moved on, the class racing remains active in town at Neuse River Yacht Racing Association, as seen here at their 2014 Cinco de Mayo Regatta. Photos by Priscilla Parker.
