| Olympic Trials Begin |
| | The
East Coast Trials get our attention as John Ruf, Annie Kate Haeger,
Lindsay Allen, Chloe Palmer, Erik Bowers and Josh Garber compete for
the chance to represent the US. The weekend saw four races in the Laser
Radial and Laser classes. Click here for results. Ruf led on Saturday night but Sunday's results omitted race #2 which Ruf won with no explanation on the website.
The remainder of fleets are located on the West Coast with the
exception of the Yngling fleet. Barkow and Team 7 will be kept in limbo
until the OCR regatta in January. There are only two competitors left
for the US berth, Barkow and Betsy Allison. The selection will be made
based on regatta performance from the World's and OCR. No trials will
be held for the Yngling class. |

Fall Regattas Boast High Numbers
It was only two years ago when participation was so low, two lakes
were considering discontinuing the fall events. But forget those days.
Chris Andert and his C fleet committee have turned this around. The
past three weekends, 30+ boats have gathered at Beulah, Davenport and
Delavan. The end of season Road Warrior awards have generated a final
burst of activity. Winners will be announced in this week's C World or
the next edition of Scowlines. Congratulations to the C fleet
committee, the ILYA member of the Year recipients, for promoting the
fleet into phenomenal fall success. |
