Photo Credits:
Our club is fortunate to know photographers who understand the sport of
ice boating. Some of the names you will see credited are Craig Wilson who dangles
his camera from a kite for a unique view from atop the masts; David
Travis, a Nite and Skeeter sailor, who knows a thing or two about the art
of photography and is the curator for the Museum of Photography at the Art
Institute of Chicago; Geoff Sobering who is often seen with his DN parked
at the weather mark waiting for that great shot of a mark rounding; Ron Rosten, a long time ice boater who translates his knowledge of the
sport into great photos; Renegader Tim Stanton, who shoots some of the
sharpest 35 mm photos around; and Grant Frautschi, an avid sailor who
never forgets to bring his digital camera.

NIYA A Stern Steerer Champion
Here's Fred Stritt and John
Stanley, who sailed first day with Fred on the Fritz belatedly
celebrating their first place NIYA victory. Scott Harms sailed on the
second day. Fred writes, "We took the cup to the Inn Between with us.
We figured if the Americas Cup can go to Chucks. We could take it to our
little bar that day. The national C scow meeting was there and at least 30
sailors got to put there lips to it, the sweet taste of victory!"
Sunday 2-20:
I'm back home in Monona this morning after waking up to 3" of
fluffy snow in Oshkosh with more on the way. We've only got about an inch
here in the Madison area. The storm tracked farther north than predicted.
There was a nice turn-out at the banquet last night. With three races in
each class, the regatta was called completed.
Saturday 2-19:
The DNs and Renegades raced this morning in light, fluky winds. John
Dennis won the DN race. The dying winds were responsible for only 8
Renegades finishing within the 1/2 hour time limit after the winner, Tim
McCormick, crossed the finish line. Don Anderson was second. Wind shifts
forced quite a few course changes. Finally, at around 3:00, the Skeeters
were able to race. Dan Clapp won and Tom Hyslop was second. The
stern-steerers were also able to get a race in today. Fritz is leading in
the As. The Deuce suffered a crack in the hull yesterday and was unable to
complete the regatta. Racing is scheduled for 9:30 AM tomorrow. The race
committee is taking a wait and see attitude with the weather.
Friday, February 18
Lack of wind forced a postponement until 1:00 and each class was able
complete two races. In the DNs, John Dennis won both races today. The
Renegades mixed it up a bit more; in the first race, Tim McCormick placed
first followed by Mike Derusha, Don Anderson, Jerry Simon, and Jack Ripp.
Mike Derusha won the second race, followed by Don Anderson and Tim
McCormick. In the Skeeters, Dan Clapp easily dominated both races. Bob Kau
placed second in the first Skeeter race. In the second Skeeter race, Tom
Hyslop took second, Bill Mattison third, and Bob Kau fourth.
The winds were about 10 mph and were quite shifty towards the end of the
day. About 77 boats registered for the regatta. In the second race, the
Deuce suffered a regatta-ending crack to the side of her hull, which
according to Rick Hennig is the only place on the hull that hasn't been
restored by the Cabbage Patch crew. I'm sure that the Cabbage Patch guys
will have the Deuce better than new in no time.

NIYA THE HISTORY
Dateline January 13, 1913.
Wisconsin State Journal.
"Representatives of Oshkosh, Madison, Menominee, and Marinette met at
the Hotel Menominee this morning and discussed future of the new NIYA,
Emil Fauerbach of Madison commended the Mendota Ice Yacht Club highly in
their action in establishing a renewal of the sport and declared that he
would do everything in his power to aid the new organization in every
manner possible. LF Porter, of Madison, a man who has been connected with
several water and ice craft organizations, gave some timely and
instructive suggestions in regard to the proper manner of conducting the
association. He proposed having two delegates from each club present at a
future gathering and from a constitution and by laws at that time."
This historic regatta was first sailed in 1913 in Menominee, Michigan.
Skeeters, DNs, and Renegades weren't even invented back then when the big
stern steerers ruled the ice. In 1913, Menominee skipper E. Peterson won
the first Class A championship in "Square People". Madison,
Wisconsin's own Emil Fauerbach won the 1914 championship in the famed
Princess II, a boat that went on the win the Hearst International Trophy.
Other notable Class A winners throughout the year include John Buckstaff
of Oshkosh, Jungbluth and Carl Bernard of Madison in the Fritz (still
being sailed today by Fred Stritt), Harry Melges of Lake Geneva (Buddy's
father), Carl Bernard again in the Mary B (currently owned by the Haines
family), the Debutante currently owned by Mike Derusha, and Buddy Melges
in his Ferdinand the Bull.
The DNs were first recognized as a separate class in 1954 when Skip Boston
won the inaugural NIYA DN championship. Other notable DN champions include
William Sarns in 1956, Jane Pegel who first won in 1960 and went on to
capture another nine championships.
Class E Skeeters first raced the NIYA in 1936 when Lake Geneva sailor
Harry Melges won in Mickey Finn. Elmer Millenbach took the 1949 trophy
sailing his Renegade II back when the Renegades and Skeeters sailed
together. Other famous ice boating names who've won the NIYA Class E
championship include Bill Perrigo, Howard Bosten, Frank Trost, Jack Ripp,
Dave Rosten, Bill Mattison, Lou Loenneke, Buddy Melges, Bob Pegel, and
Paul Krueger.
The Renegades first raced in the NIYA as a recognized class in 1958 and of
course, Mr. Ice Boat, Elmer Millenbach won his first of many NIYA Renegade
Championships in Renegade III. Elmer won every regatta until 1984 when the
4LIYC Jerry Simon took the championship. Other winners include Arlyn
Lafortune, Loren Sherry, Jack Ripp, Tim McCormick, Roger Derusha, Don
Anderson, and Mike Derusha.
