It was a little windy and chilly out there on Wonder Lake, but 10 hardy souls from the Yacht Club and some helpers from the Sportsman's club put the buoys in the lake on Saturday, 4/28. No work detail is complete without some custom grilling which includes Ken's marinated seared tuna.

The modified Fish (minus the weeds) Regatta was sailed on a near perfect sailing day on Wonder Lake Saturday Sept 9. Race 1 saw Jim and Tom in IW 8 lead the way to victory with Jack, Cindy and Marie in IW 24 placing 2nd. Close competition occurred for 3rd with Dennis and Bob taking 3rd and Greg and John right on their port quarter.
Great sailing today. Kenny should be leading the ILYA. Naatz & Roger really showed their stuff. Jack & Cindy are getting the hang of it. Greg training new crew and Barr lost his hat.
17mph wind with a gust here and there resulted in two great races. First race saw Schroeder and Barr having a tacking duel to the finish line. Pierce was breaking in a new crew and Palys is learning how to get out of the irons. Big thanks to Patti Hartmann for saving the committee boat with a dead battery.
It was a very windy day for a sail, however these hardy sailors braved the elements - Ken, Greg and John. Ken #14 is our club's dominant skipper, but it was fun to see Greg #12 lead the race at the start for a while.

The C Scow was the first class of scow built by Harry C. Melges, Sr. in 1945; it quickly became an all-time speed favorite. The C Scow has come a long way from the days of wooden materials and cotton sails. It continues to be a very revolutionary sailboat, inspired by more than 100 years of competitive racing. This cat-rigged, maneuverable sailboat is great fun and a total pleasure to sail..... Very Fast, Fun, and Furious!
