Will Johnston is one of those photographers who always makes an effort to find us. He was out on Saturday during the light-air day and came away with some fine images. Sailors study these photos closely, how the boats sit, and what the rigs are doing. There’s real data in them. I’m sharing one here and linking to Will’s full gallery. (Please credit Will if you use any of his photos.) Thanks, Will. LINK TO WILL JOHNSTON GALLERY

One of the pleasures of sailing in Wisconsin is our friends in the air. Aviators who track us down, land nearby, talk boats with fellow aviator and 4LIYC Jeff Russell, then head back up with cameras. Saturday delivered beautiful light conditions (and light-air) at the ISA and DN US Nationals regattas. Thanks to Jim Stevenson for taking these photos and sharing them.
The Wisconsin Stern Steering Association regatta for 2026 has been tentatively called on for February 7 and 8. The site selected is Green Lake. Final confirmation will be made by 1 PM Thursday, February 5. Check back here after that time. The Northwest Ice Yacht Association has scheduled their regatta for the same weekend and place, that regatta takes precedence.
What a weekend for ice sailing! Good to see our friends from the east coast back on the ice. See more here. LINK
