The Wisconsin Stern Steering Association regatta has been postponed to March 5 – 6, 2022. The next update will be Sunday, February 27. Check back here at that time. The little bit of hail on Tuesday blew into rock hard humps up to 4″ tall on Green Lake and Winnebago, 1.5″ humps on Monona. Perhaps OK for cruising but not going straight and fast.

ISA & Renegade Championship Day 3 AM Update

Provisional Results

Competitors bore with the course changes due to wind shifts and completed three races in each of their classes on the second day of the ISA and Renegade Championship.
PRO Joe Norton sent the Nites off for their second race when the wind shut down, and he black-flagged the race because it exceeded the time limit. It was a long, cold day on the ice in bright sunshine, we patiently waited, and the wind came back as predicted. There were excellent racing battles in all fleets, particularly the Nite and Renegade.
Racing starts again at 9:30 AM. Below is photo gallery from the Facebook page of Skot Weidmann.
