What's next? We begin the more relaxed fall season when our member clubs host some of the finest social and racing events of the year. Watch the next edition of Scowlines as we begin to promote our local events. Remember these smaller events at the end of the season provide the opportunity to encourage next year's participants on your lake or at our regattas. The ILYA is not only about regattas but promoting its classes. The I20s have their national championship on Green; the C's host several events in familiar sites. Last year's promotional regatta, the Beulah Challenge, developed by the fleet was such a success with new names and faces it will be repeated. Our fleets' Blue Chips are in September. Go and visit for a day. And if you really want to become entrenched consider watching the HS and college fall seasons. There is enough fall sailing for any one at any level. Support your classes to keep them healthy and come and visit us next year. Submit your NOR for posting on the ILYA website and the next edition of Scowlines.

 

Last event to mark immediately  on your calendars is the Winter Inland. This is the year of a new rulebook edition. The ILYA has obtained Dick Rose to present on the new rules. Look for a three-boatlength circle and new responsibility or burden of proof in a few rules. Watch the Packers, Bears or Vikings in the Superbowl and then the following weekend come to SE Wisconsin to begin your sailing season.

 

See you next season, friends.
