Lee Alnes is the current NCASA Commodore from the White Bear Yacht Club.
Lee Alnes grew up sailing on White Bear Lake Minnesota. Since 1970 he has raced Xs, M-16s, M-20s, MCs, Cs, Es, Lasers and the A Scow. He started racing A Scows in 2004, having never been on one before (“it’s just a big E boat, right?”). Like most A Scow sailors at White Bear, Fletcher Driscoll was the driving force to get him started in the class. He purchased his current boat “Euphoriaâ€, from Fletcher (2000 Melges, original owner Jim Klauser) in late 2010 and had it retrofitted to the modern swept-spreader rig. Lee also races his E scow on White Bear and in ILYA and NCESA events. He has been an NCASA Board Member since 2006, having served previously as Secretary, and now as Commodore.
