Help Adult Learn To Sail Program With MC Donation

I am writing on behalf of the Lake Beulah Sailing School. The sailing school is trying to further strengthen the adult learn to sail program. One way we can do that is to have one or two MCs available for students to use during class and also for our more advanced students to rent for a season.

So, we're looking for donations of one or two used MCs that are in decent shape. This would be a tax deductible donation to the LBSS. If you've got a good boat sitting around and want to put it to good use, we can help!

Please contact Al Haeger at 815-347-2590 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it if you want to donate or have a lead.

Think spring!

Annie Haeger Nominated for Rolex Yachtswoman of the Year Award

Rolex Yachtspeople of the Year Nominees 2009

As you may or may not know, one of Beulah’s finest has made the short list of nominees for the Rolex Yachtswoman of the Year award!  For those of you unawares, the Rolex is sort of a combination of Oscar, Emmy, Grammy and Nobel all rolled up into one – some refer to it as the “Nobel of Sailing” – it’s a huge deal just to be nominated!  Annie Haeger made the list, thanks in no small part to her training on Lake Beulah – click on image at left for more info and see her mug right there in the top row.

The nominees will be reviewed by a panel of noted sailing journalists who discuss the merits of each nominee and vote to determine US SAILING's 2009 Rolex Yachtsman and Yachtswoman of the Year.  The ultimate winners will be announced in mid-January and honored on February 26, 2010, during a luncheon at the New York Yacht Club in Manhattan, when they will be presented with Rolex timepieces.

Established in 1961 by US SAILING and sponsored by Rolex Watch, U.S.A. since 1980, the annual presentation of US SAILING's Rolex Yachtsman and Yachtswoman of the Year awards are considered the sport's ultimate recognition of an individual's outstanding on-the-water achievements for the calendar year. Over its history the coveted award has been presented to 37 men and 33 women, including these notable sailors who have claimed the honor multiple times: Ed Adams, Betsy Alison, Sally Barkow, Dennis Conner, JJ Isler, Allison Jolly, John Kostecki, Buddy Melges, Ken Read, Lynne Shore, Jody Swanson and Ted Turner. The 2008 winners were Terry Hutchinson and Anna Tunnicliffe.

B-7's Joe Kutschenreuter & Randy Schmidt Take 2nd at ILYA Champs!!

Joe & Randy Accept Their Award - Source ILYA Website

LBYC B-7's Joe Kutschenreuter and Randy Schmidt proved last week that their "on lake" performance is no indication of just how tough they are. Joe and Randy grabbed second at the ILYA C Scow Championships with an 18 point lead over the next Lake Beulah Yacht Club competitor, B-12's Kent Haeger and Mike Greeson (8th place). Showing how close the top competition was, 17 points separated champion Tim Krech from B-7 in second, while the balance of the top ten were just 24 points behind with Marty Barr at 10th. Consistency in the top ten finisher list enabled B-7 to use their throw outs well and keep their point count down.

Lake Beulah Yacht Club C-Scow finishes were as follows:

PLACE BOAT SKIPPER POINTS
2 B-7 Joe Kutschenreuter 36
8 B-12 Kent Haeger 54
10 B-6 Martin Barr 60
15 B-217 Anne Muller 93
16 B-1 William Haeger 101
17 B-11 George Kutschenreuter 103
18 B-18 Brian Brickler 107
20 B-333 David Davenport 116
23 B-88 Jay Hiller 123
25 B-303 Frank Davenport 126
29 B-17 David Porter 149
44 B-19 John Sullivan 251

C Scow Fleet Faces A Blow

With winds ranging from 18-25 mph, by rule, the MC Fleet left the water leaving the C Fleet to sail alone. One participant described the ensuing race full of "carnage". While that may be an overstatement, it was certainly a blow and equipment gave way, boats capsized and a few fought to the finish. Some images are shown below after the jump.

C Fleet News From C Nationals

Written by Joe Skotarzak

The Beulah c-scow fleet sent a strong contingent over to Pewaukee for the Nationals last weekend.  We were double digits strong in boats with a total of ten (even WITHOUT EITHER of the 88 or 99, I must have heard wrong when someone told me they were going…  Or maybe they’re just saving their strength for the WYA and the ILYA Championships later this summer…) yachts making the short trek.  Alas it was a bit of a long weekend for our heroes, as only one of the double digit head count finished in a single digit position!

Stephanie Hudson Quoted in Class 470 Euro Champs Press Release

470 Class Junior European Championships - Event Preview

Ninety-seven teams from 24 countries are preparing to contest the 470 Class Junior European Championships on Lake Balaton in Hungary, which starts next Monday in the lakeside resort of Balatonfured.

******
Stephanie Hudson from the USA will be competing in the Men’s/Mixed division. “I will be sailing the event with someone I have never sailed with before, Alex Sachs. That means we will be sailing in the Men's/Mixed division, so I am unsure as to how we will compete. We hope that we will be able to overcome the lack of time together and develop quickly around any problems we may have. We are both still pretty new to the 470, having only sailed a few events and without much training time, but we both have a lot of experience in 420s. We have not really thought about winning, but we do not know how competitive we will be together and thus hope to adjust our goals after every day of sailing and see what we can accomplish in Balaton.”

Woody Bach Shipmate On Mediterranean Yacht

Happy_Days_Yacht_Woody_Bach
On July 18, Woody Bach left Ft. Lauderdale for Antibes, France in order to sign on as a deck hand on board Happy Days, a 164 ft private motor yacht. For ten days Happy days cruised the South of France including a brief dry-dock period in La Ciotat. On July 28th, Happy Days got underway leaving the Mediterranean with a brief refueling stop in Gibraltar. Upon leaving the Med, Happy Days turned North through the Bay of Biscay, up through the English Channel into the North Sea with landfall in Germany as of August 3rd. From here they transit the Kiel Canal and enter into the Baltic Sea making way Eastward to once again make landfall in Helsinki, Finland. During the delivery, Woody is assisting manning a watch in the bridge including radar checks, navigation procedures and compiling log entries listing significant vessel data. Upon arriving in Finland, Woody will fly back to Florida in order to prepare entering the school year at University of Florida where he will be an incoming freshman.
