IMPORTANT UPDATE – 4LIYC Scrub Racing for Jan 28


Attention Attention Attention
Official 4LIYC racing has been cancelled for January 27-28. However, club members will scrub race on Sunday, January 28 on Lake Monona from the Olin Park Launch.

4LIYC members will be scrub racing tomorrow, Sunday, January 27,  starting at 10 AM. The Skeeters packed up and removed their trailers late morning, concerned about the weight of their trailers. Surface condition and thickness appear to be fine, but make your own call. This is strictly an unofficial gathering. All are welcome.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: 4LIYC Racing Called on For Jan 27 – 28

ATTENTION ATTENTION ATTENTION

Ice checkers this morning found that the ice on Lake Monona is surprisingly good. All of the snow is gone. The surface is hard and getting smoother by the minute as nature’s Zamboni is doing its work. There will be some wet spots on top of the hard ice. It will not take much breeze to make it go on this racetrack.

The Skeeters have decided to club race starting tomorrow; their races will be scored. Other Fleet Captains should poke their members and notify Deb if they intend to race for points one or both days.

Club equipment will be on the ice Saturday morning.

4LIYC racing is scheduled for Lake Monona on January 27-28, 2024. As we did last weekend, we will postpone racing until Sunday, January 28, due to the forecast for Saturday, which predicts fog and minimal wind. However, ice checkers will inspect the ice on Sunday morning to determine if we can race. We advise all club members to wait until the ice is inspected before sailing. If the ice is sailable, Sunday’s first race is at 10 AM.
