Re: 13-14 season: 2014 IDNIYRA -Western Regional Regatta - NOR & Registration
Ken Smith:
Julie,
We anxiously wonder, where are these sites?
Happy New Year!

We have race-able ice on Green Lake, WI. The other sailable lakes we have been watching have been snowed out. Green Lake was sailed Tuesday and today, January 1st, by a skeeter, Nite and DN3271. We have a 2 mile square area at County Park off of Hwy K on the southwest corner of the lake. The ice is a large orange-peel texture and is over 50% covered with light snow (1/2") and 20-30% drifts as high as one and a half inch. There was no trouble sailing in a 10 mph or more breeze. We are watching the forecast and final decision will be made by 6 PM Thursday. If it's a "go" launch site and hotel info will be provided at that time.

The plan is to run the Westerns March 22-23.
Green Lake would seem like a possible spot, and there are other lakes in southern WI that may also be available by then.
Watch here for more information next week!

The 2014 Western Regionals is postponed. Stay tuned for updates for the following weekend... If conditions should be better on Sunday than projected, please use this time on your local lakes to introduce your list of newbies to our sport. The only down-side to regattas, as a group of us discussed at a
Think-Tank on growing the sport 3 years ago, is that most of the action is in one location in each region...thus minimizing our ability to showcase what we do to a larger, more widespread, audience of prospectives...If at all possible, please make Sunday your local club's "take a newbie for a ride day" !! Hope to see you on the ice (not slush) soon. Julie J
