Hi Guys,
The 09 Nationals are now behind us. What a great event the Wyman’s threw for us at Oshkosh—Just fantastic. Personally I cannot wait until 2011 when we are back again. Check the article below which can be found on the front page of Sailing Anarchy.
Next up we have the ILYA Champs at Big Green Lake. IF you have not secured hotel space I suggest you get on it as this event is one not to miss. We are expecting 30 plus A Scows. We register Sat afternoon (Bilge Pullers Annual meeting and banquet Sat. eve)and Sunday morning with racing Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday in our normal format of B2B mid day. The event will be HQ’d in the Down Town Green Lake Marina area like we used to in the old days. There will be a big Tent at the park right next to the Marina. The regatta will be wet sailed unless you can find a place to pull out. We are going to moor right in front of the hotel (we are staying at the Bay View Motel). We have two fleet sponsored parties: NCASA is paying the appetizers right after racing that same day at that bar next door to the Marina on the other side-- brand new the last time we were there and for the band on Monday night’s party at the Goose Blind. Sunday night there is a Dinner—I think brats/burgers and corn – under the tent at HQ in honor of the fact that Green Lake Cty is known for producing the best sweet corn in the world! In any event this will prove to be a great regatta and I encourage you all to not miss this.

See you all soon!!!
