is shown here with second place winner Steve Johnson from White
Bear. The two-boat fleet owns beautiful trophies as shown above with
the two Valentine trophies for the first and second place finishers in

with 6 points. Results

Jamie and Rob Kimball sailing for Geneva (via Michigan) sailed to the top spot on Saturday's two races.
Kent Haeger
(center) of Beulah with crew Michael Greeson took home two race
wins, the Corinthian trophy for highest non-pro, highest non-pro in
Race One and the Pine Lake Trophy for overall second place. A-14, Paul
Reilly with crew Aaron Mann nabbed an overall fifth and the masters
trophy. 16-year-old Will Haeger, (yes, Kent's son) with crew Brad Roble
won the top junior. In fourth place the Beulah team of Brian and Kevin
Brickler stood proud.
Anne
Porter Muller fell to third but sailed well in Saturday's races to
establish a strong statement for the fleet. The fleet boasted three
women and 10 juniors (age 25 and under). Not since 1957 when Jane Pegel
won the Inland has a woman created such excitement. Anne felt the
excitement of all who supported her fine sailing. Anne (right) co-owns
and co-skips (alternating regattas) with Joe Skotarzak who stated he
has never been so happy (and this from a past Nationals champ).
Tina Weber is left. Thirds were not needed this event. Results

Editor's Note
Each
of our member clubs has a unique quality marking its success. The photo
above shows the natural beauty of the Okoboji Yacht Club. This club is
fortunate to be in a financial situation to extend a generosity that is
incomparable. But as I ponder my marvelous weeklong stay there, I can
appreciate the physical site and layout but what distinguishes this
club has nothing to do with its exceptional fortune, architectural
beauty or lake view. It is about the Okoboji members. From our arrival
at the parking area to our last farewell step, their love for their
guests was evident. They hosted so many of us with their stunning
homes, the free food each morning and evening, the army of qualified
race committee, the spectator drivers who adopted us day after day
forming friendships along the way -- it all built into an unforgettable
week for the ILYA sailors who attended. As we lingered each evening on
the lawn, we realized there is something unique and special here. It
was a casual, genuine love for our sport and each other which expressed
itself best in the mileau of this tranquil site. We are grateful to
Okoboji for its efforts. We all left with a longing to return to one of
the finest clubs in the country. It was said, "Why don't we come here
each year?" While we travel throughout our Midwest region, we are so
fortunate for all our hosts. But, Okoboji, you hold a tender spot in
our hearts. Thank you for the amazing regatta at your perfect site. We
all left wonderful friends behind ---- thank you! |

unfortunate mark roundings, Sally Barkow and her team finished
seventh. The British team took the gold. Finn sailor, Zack Railey,
nabbed the silver. |
