After waiting out a snow flurry, the club was able to race on Sunday, January 28 on Lake Mendota and Tim McCormick has tabulated the standings.4LIYC Scores, Jan 30, 2018
A highlight of that day on Mendota was several college-age soft water sailors being introduced to our sport. Daniel Hearn put it best in his Facebook post:
Tip of the helmet to Dave Elsmo, who seemingly had the entire UW Sailing Team out taking turns and racing with us. Great exposure for our sport, due to Dave’s tireless ambassadorship!

Nite Nationals called ON for February 3-4.
Via the International Nite Iceboat Association Website:
Several boats sailed a large sheet of ice on Lake Mendota today (1-28). Though the ice had a fresh 1/2″ of snow, it checked out fine. We’ll watch to be sure it doesn’t turn stiff.
Keep up to date by visiting the Nite website.
