Scowslants is our print medium. Published quarterly, Scowslants is the place for written record of your notice of race, equipment sales, and full regatta reports. Executive Secretary Smith welcomes all articles.

 

Scowlines is web-based email communication. It is meant to be timely (and that is defined by next day in the summer) and short-snippet with reference to other websites for elongated versions of reports. For inclusion in Scowlines, please forward your info to Candace Porter, and post on your website so a link can be established. If you do not have the ability to post on a website, never fear, the ILYA "hides" your info on our website so Scowlines can link to it.

 

In general, the Scowlines editor attempts to post regatta results each Saturday night for your early Sunday morning review and then again on Monday morning. (You might guess the hours of the volunteer editor to accomplish this task). If the regatta results or article are a week old, the Scowlines policy has been to forward the info to the ILYA office for inclusion on our website or in our next Scowslants. Scowlines is not meant to replace Scowslants just to keep you immediately up to date on scow sailing events. If your event has been captured by the Scowlines editor on the weekend, it is likely any further info submitted later in the week goes to the Scowslants publication. Scowlines has moved onto the next set of events. You will always see promotional, advertising, national class, US Sailing and other boating news as it is received. If an ILYA member has sailed it, we most likely include it. We upport our advertisers and any news from our boat and sailmakers.

 

Of course, editorial control remains with the ILYA. We do not print negative, critical information but in this great scow world that just rarely occurs. Errors do occur but part of that is due to the "copy and paste" of articles submitted and then lax proofreading on the part of the editors. And then sometimes we just make mistakes. We welcome your corrections.

 

In that light, we wish to thank Cedar Lake, IN, one of our most FUN lakes for hosting a most successful I-20 regatta this spring. Full reporting is on other websites. Cedar Lake always know how to show us a great time. Refer to the I-20 website for more info on that regatta. ALWAYS CHECK OUR SCOW NATIONAL CLASS PAGES. They have great photos and news of upcoming events.
