Collegiate Nationals nears - May 25th start

Qualifying continues and look for our girls to be well represented. That event will commence May 25th with an initial qualifying for finals which conclude May 29th. The Lake Beulah Women's Banquet will be May 29th at the Union. At least Steph Roble of ODU will sail the co-ed portion of the event which follows next. Steph qualified this weekend at the Western Semis. Boston College won the Eastern Qualifiers but due to high consistent wind, Anne Haeger was on the sidelines while the heavier boys took over. The Co-ed section will be the concluding event with a banquet on June 3rd in Great Hall at the Union. Tickets are on sail for all the banquets on the UW Sailing Team website. Team racing final qualification rounds are this coming weekend. The event can be observed from the Union Terrace. Bring your high school students to observe or just come to watch the nation's best. Gary Jobson will be in town to host for ESPN. For event details, click here.

Coral Reef Sailing Apparel has Gill on sale this week. There are some clearance items in youth sizes. Mention Collegiate Nationals when you order. The Collegiate Nationals embroidered items are also posted.

Naming rights to one last boat are still available. Join the likes of the Schmidt Family of Cedar, North Sails, and Lake Beulah to have your name on the transom of a boat. There is only one boat left. Add to your current donation level or come in as a new donor for a $4000 donation.

It's not too late to support the Badger sailing team and the 2010 Collegiate Championships. The Badgers and Hoofers have a fundraising goal of $40,000 to purchase equipment and provide 1st rate ILYA hospitality to visiting college sailors and their fans from around the country. This is our time to shine. Contact UW and Inland sailors Christine Porter (Beulah) and Leif Evensen (LaBelle) for more details. Or click "Donate" to add your support.

Members who responded to the email notice of dues also responded to the new donor support programs (see http://ilya.org/member-support-levels.html). Thanks to our first four Platinum Level Supporters-Commodore Mark Prange, Paul Reilly, Ron Stryker, and Cedar Lake Yacht Club of Indiana!

In addition to the Platinum Level Supporters, several others have donated in the Gold Level or Silver Level categories.

Paper dues notices are in the mail now, and Executive Secretary Smith encourages everyone to respond to the notice by using the on line renewal system. The system also allows for donor support in addition to dues (sorry, Life members, your donations have to me made by mail or phone).

Pewaukee Offers Three Opti Clinics

Pewaukee is hosting an upper level clinic for sailors with entry limited and by resume. Clinic instructors include two well known experts: Scott Norman and Juan Carlos Romero. A third session August 26-27 has not had an instructor announced. This course will take your sailors to a higher level in single handed sailing. Those skills will transfer to our X boat and 420 instruction. More information is available at the PLSS site.
