 We have sun and breeze and 55 boats! The day dawned sunny and warming up quickly with very little breeze. The wind came in nicely by the 10:30 am start as the fleet prepared for the seventh and final race of the weekend. Going in, Scott and Sam on E-55 led overall, with a virtual three-way tie for second place between Young Buck George and ol' salt Reilly plus the B-17 Porter family affair. The course was set and the racing was on. 55 and 17 and 14 were all near the front. At the top mark the 55 fouled someone and had to do spins and pushed themselves back into the fleet. The breeze built and suddenly the couple people with thirds looked very smart. The uber-light team of Dave and Katie Porter we leading the hunt for the title - they hung around the top five with the 14 a few back and the 55 solidly in the teens and the 16 a non-factor. Up the last beat that's where they were, if everyone held position, the lightweight Porter team would take the title. Not more than 100 feet from finishing fourth in the race and first overall, the mast on the B-17 fell into the water! Crew Katie was seen to jump up and down a couple times in frustration, until papa Dave stood up and opened his arms wide and buried her in a daddy hug. As of this writing, they're back to smiles at a regatta very well sailed.
In the final analysis 55 swapped throwouts and pitched today's 20th, while Reilly and Mann had to hold onto their
10th - the net result of which was a one-point victory for the boys from Okauchee! This year's ILYA C Invitational Champions, topping a 55 boat fleet, Scott Tarmann and Sam Andrewski sailing E-55!
The Keck boys sailed a great race and finished 2nd today to move up to third overall, while team Kutsch struggled in the big breezes today to fall back to a 29th, which they threw out, to finish 4th. They were followed by Tim and Bre Krech in 5th.
All in all it was a great event, a good time had by all. The organization was pretty smooth, from the meals to Ben Porter keeping the bar lively at night, and even the pull-out process went as well as it could have mostly thanks to some excellent pre-planning on the part of Don Franzene who was at the LBYC at 7am Sunday staging trailers while many of the sailors were sleeping off Ben's efforts from last night. A huge thanks to all the Beulah volunteers who made it happen, from the course to the kitchen and all points in between!
An even huger thanks to all of the friends that came to join us from other lakes! Especially those that came from Minnesota and Michigan!! Sailing Beulah with 55 C scows is something to behold, ask anyone that was here! If you missed it, you missed it! See y'all in September for the Beulah Challenge!
