Venetian Night - July 2, 2016
The WLYC sponsored Venetian Night was held on Saturday night, 7/2/2016. It was a perfect night with 11 boats participating in the parade around the lake. The winning boat followed the theme: "Wonder Lake American Proud" featuring a large flag across the front of the boat, the statue of Liberty, and Mount Rushmore with the Memorial's mouths opening and closing to the music being played, "Only In America". Created by the very clever threesome of: Diane & Adeline Bieniarz & Tim Kohlstedt Scroll down to Venetian Night 2015 for their photo.
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!
