After a two year pause, we are pleased to announce that our annual spring awards banquet has been scheduled for April 16, 2022 at the Breakwater Restaurant in Monona, WI. Menu selections are in the works. Please save the date and stand by for further details.

The Nites win the race of being the most optimistic class of the season! They are still hanging in there with the hopes of holding their 2022 Nationals and need to hear from their class members.

We have once again postponed the Nationals. The Nite Board is willing to give it one more try and it wouldn’t it be EPIC to have a Nite Nationals in April? The past couple of days have put a strain on our landing but next week’s forecast does look promising with lows all the way down to the low twenties and possibly lower, which we hope will firm it up, safety first. The Terrace Bay Hotel is ready and waiting for us. Now we just need the weather to cooperate. If you are interested in participating in the possible EPIC event please respond so we can get an idea if we should move forward.
Thank you from the Nite Board of Directors
Chad Rechcygl – Commodore
Maureen Bohleber – Vice Commodore
Lars Barber – Treasurer
Brian Nies – Secretary
Mike Peters – Technical Advisor
Nite Nationals tentatively called on for March 25-27. We are giving it one last chance and Escanaba, Michigan could be the place.
We will call it by noon on Wednesday March 23, 2022.Sail Safe, Sail Fast,

The Wisconsin Stern Steering Association annual regatta for 2022 has been cancelled due to lack of cooperation on the part of Mother Nature. Our last hope was Escanaba but a large amount of rain and snow is forecast for this week with potential for more rain next week. We will need a barge to get to the ice. Work on your boats this summer and check back late December 2022 for 2023 regatta info.

March brought the Fat Lady’s warmth and rain, signifying the close of the Four Lakes Ice Yacht Club racing season. Lake Monona provided some exceptional conditions this season, and it was reassuring to be back on home ice. After a two-year pandemic hiatus, we are looking forward to resuming our annual spring trophy awards banquet in April. All the pieces are falling in place, Tim McCormick has tabulated the scores, and our trophy chair, Damien Luyet, will be organizing the hardware. We’ll have more banquet news coming soon.
