Wisconsin Yachting Association
This past weekend youth sailing heated up on Big Cedar Lake between Hartford and West Bend, with the annual Wisconsin Yachting Association Championship Regatta. Sixty-seven boats arrived to test their skills against their peers from around the state. Shifty breezes and tight quarters gave the race committee a run for their money, but they executed a beautiful regatta along with the gracious volunteers from Cedar Lake Yacht Club.
The weather felt more like fall, with cool temps and rain, but the spectators bundled up and the sailors stayed warm and dry with spray gear. A fun item of note was the addition of a “special” spectator…the Met Life Blimp, as seen in the accompanying photo. The blimp hovered over the races for quite some time, before heading out.
Kate Klement from Lake Beulah won the overall title with 2 bullets out of 3 races. Nick Clemence from Pewaukee took 2nd, Connor Trepton from Lac LaBelle took 3rd overall and the bullet from the 3rd and final race, Charlie Kutschenreuter from Beulah was 4th and Natalie Kay from Okauchee was 5th overall.
Pictured are photos of the racing, a close up of an X boat, and a great shot of “Team LaBelle”.
