Commodore’s Comments: This past week the social scene continued on the water with a fun Flotilla Party, hosted by the Wises. Thanks Gail and Dick! As you can see from the photo, it was a fun time. This weekend the MC action moves to Upper Lake, followed by the MC Fleet Party hosted by the Dorns. Steve Rotier has been sighted prac-ticing on Upper Lake. He has stated that he intends to up-hold the honor for all of us who live on Upper Lake! Good luck to all! Also remember our Wednesday night cookouts are still going strong. Mark your calendar to be at the club each Wednesday in August. The meals are a great value and the company is even better. The only thing hotter than the weather has been our X sail-ors. The results have been outstanding. Sailors, parents and LBSS Instructors have represented Lake Beulah well, on and off the water. Thank you and Congratulations! I'd like to thank all our volunteer race officials. Led by Vice-Commodore, Julie Haeger, your work has been out-standing!

Thank you to all who have already given to the LBSS Lease Fund Drive. This is a Win/Win lease agreement for both organizations! Please give this your most serious con-sideration. Great sailing, Great parties and Great friends; Lake Beulah

is the place to be! Jay Hiller Jay Hiller Jay Hiller Jay Hiller

FROM THE SAILING COMMODORE

It's been an eventful sum-

mer of sailing thus far but it seems like feast or famine with the

wind. Our PRO's, people on the

Chase boat, and Signal boat teams

have done a great job of being timely

and making good decisions. This in

turn helps the Sailing Commodore's

job look easy! Thank you to all who

have volunteered your time.

Our youth have been busy. GLSS

X had Beulah in the spotlight. Charlie

Kutschenreuter and Alex Keck in the

B-16 took top honors followed by B-

66 in 6th, B-11 in 9th, B-60 in 10th

out of the 48 boat fleet. Next they

brought their Optis and Lasers to

GLSS Dinghyfest. In the Opti fleet,

Alex Bischoff finished 3rd, John Barr

5th, Alex Keck 8th, and Patrick

Schmidt 9th. The C's were in Fond

du Lac for the C Invite where our

own Commodore in the B-88 finished

3rd, the B-333 was fourth, B-22 fifth,

and the B-12 finished 11th. Mary

Claire Kiernan and Kate Klement and

Teresa Westin sailed 420's in at the

Ida Lewis Regatta in New Jersey

and 420 Nationals which were held in

Chicago. The girls made Beulah

proud and gained valuable experi-

ence in some trying conditions. Off

the X's went again to Oshkosh to the

X-treme regatta. George Kiernan

and Eric Komas in the B-21 took top

honors here, followed by the B-19 in

third, the B-6 in fifth, and the B-7 in

9th. John Barr with crew Gabe DiBi-

ase won their first race! Without time

to breathe, the brave X parents were

off to Nagawicka for the WYA. The

wind was light but Beulah was proud

once again with the finishes of our

young fleet. The B-6 was second, B-

16 finished third, B-11 was forth, and

the B-19 was fifth. Both the B-1 and

the B-6 won races. The X's will finish

up their regatta season in Clear Lake

Iowa at the Inland. Good luck and

congratulations to all who have trav-

eled to represent our club at these

events.

This coming weekend, the MC's

have their Upper Lake regatta on

Saturday. Tom Atkinson will judge

this fun three race event. If you get a

chance, visit the action. It should

prove to be fun!

The Chase boat is still a work in

progress. Please remember to use

radios to alert the Chase boat if a

boat is in need of assistance. Also,

after using the Chase boat on Satur-

day or Sunday evenings, please be

sure to put the keys into the lock box

of keys on the pontoon boat. This

makes it easy for the next user to

have easy access to them. Also,

please be mindful to respect the

space between piers and rafts when

sailing.

Enclosed in this issue of the Main-

sheet, is a DRAFT of the family sail

numbers. This draft was compiled

through records in the yearbooks

(thank you Bill Hudson!). Please look

over this draft and call or email with

any comments as soon as possible.

The end of the sailing season is a

busy time for all of us. Please plan

ahead and get those trophies en-

graved and polished up as soon as

possible! You can drop off pol-

ished trophies either in the office

(not the Sailing School room) or at

my house when they're ready.

Enjoy the rest of the season! Sail

smart, sail

fast!

Still time to rsvp for the MC Fleet Party at Dorn’s

$15 Sunday, July 31st,

5pm Call Mitzi 642-7499 Pro/Signal teams invited too!

Ashley Mueller was proud of her black eye at the July 20th Cookout. The Green Fleeter said that she got hit with the boom, but she didn’t care! She couldn’t wait to go back out there the next day. Go for it!

It's Luffable - Opti Observations At the ILYA No Tears regatta a little girl was 40 yards from the finish line when the wind died. She was heard asking the obvious, “Can I use my pad-dle?” Another competitor was seen actually pad-dling with her hands! That’s solving the problem, girls!

Jonah Boykin’s mom, Julie, was watching him sail and said, “I know there’s something wrong with Jo-nah’s boat.” Andrea Jarecki assured her that his sail looked good and he was fine. No sooner had she said it when Jonah immediately tipped over. The two mom’s couldn’t help but laugh hysterically! Due to the 2 mph winds, Jonah was back up so fast that he didn’t even loose a boat. Kids are so funny.

Smiling at No Tears Reported by Andrea Jarecki and edited by Joe Skotarzak

Monday, July 25th, was the annual ILYA No Tears event, where the greenest of the Green Fleeters get some regatta experience. This year Beaver Lake hosted the event and there were almost a hundred twerps up there rockin’ their optis. The group gets divided and on the Senior course there were 35 or so boats, while the Junior fleet had around 44! All in all everything went great. Beulah brought it strong with five young’uns making the trek – we had a full house of A’s full of J’s – Annie Berg and the “Auger” and newcomer Alex Rietz plus Jada and Jonah Boykin! Sunday evening post-race they loaded up their yots

onto the LBSS trailer for the early Monday trip north. George Kutsch was on hand to coach and help both racers and parents through the day as well as with the unloading and loading. Over on the Senior course a total of three races were sailed and Jada finished 5th over-all! The Junior side had the other four Beulah boats and there was much excitement! Espe-cially in Race 2, which the Auger took the bullet for! Augie Jarecki ended up in 6th overall while Annie Berg got 10th! Alex, in his first-ever regatta experience, and Jonah both had moments of brilliance and finished just back. All in all a very successful day – as one of the Beulah adults was heard to mention “Gratifying to see that they did well, even though they look relatively clueless sometimes on the home lake.” Nice work, kids!

Socially Speaking

Wednesday nights are up to 130+. It’s amazing to see what folks cook up and how happy our volunteers serve. Can’t wait for the first corn of the year! Someone will tackle it. Wednesday nights go through the end of August with our final Football Cookout which is always the annual Hardy Will birthday party. Get your Packer/Bears gear ready and be sure to tell Atkinson how to make his hot-dogs – ketchup or mustard, pickles or cucumbers. It’s not authentic unless you eat an Atkinson dog. Try it his way – it’s great! Youth nights resume August 4. Thanks in advance to the Mikacich and Komas family. We have a rental August 6th and then we gear up with three weekends in a

row. The Musical Potluck on Aug 13th will require reservations via email or a phone call to Nancy Roble. The potluck will be catered now. We are keeping the potluck name but come empty handed and we will supply the food. Did you know “potluckers” used to bring their own silverware and din-nerware in the old clubhouse? There was nothing like all the homemade goods – enjoy the chicken casserole, salad, bread and dessert. Add the mu-sical stylings of Don Franzene and Milt Haeger– what could be better? The Commodore’s Ball invitations are out. The caterer is Heaven City and they promise a great meal. I wouldn’t want to be Goober on August 20th. His best (?) friends have been planning his roast for months. Seems

they have a lot of material. The Ball is at the club, so join us for a nice event. The Taco buffet will be a new event for us. More on that next Mainsheet. Thanks for your support. I hate to say,

“Drink up!” but that pesky Board

seems to think we need to make some

money at the bar. The wine selections

are plentiful this year. Thanks to Joe

Sko for his many hours of work at the

bar. He makes it fun to be there. Join

him. Candace PorterCandace PorterCandace PorterCandace Porter

WHAT’S HAPPENING AT THE LBYC

Oshkosh X-treme by George Kiernan Twelve X boat teams represented

LBYC at Lake Winnebago on July 18

and July 19 for the annual Oshkosh

X-treme Regatta. The first race of

the regatta brought strong winds

and Riley Schmidt/Sarah Kubicek

took the race bullet followed in sec-

ond by George Kiernan/Eric Komas

(see photo above), third by Scott/Erin

Sullivan and fourth by Cullen Barr/

John Berg. In the second race,

B-66 and the B-21 battled for

the lead the whole race but

then on the last leg of the race

they lost the win at to A-169

Alie Rusher who took the bullet

and the best Beulah boat in

that race was Michael/Brigit

Barr finishing in 5th followed by

George Kiernan/ Eric Komas in

7th. The 3rd and final race of

the day was won by no other

than John Barr/Gabe Dibiasis.

For Gabe it was a great way to

cap off his inaugural season in

the X fleet. Other top finishes in

the 3rd race included George

Kiernan/Eric Komas in 3rd and

Riley Schmidt/Sarah Kubicek in

4th. After a long hot day sailing

the competitors were ready for

the Casino Night Party. The

party was fun and everyone left

the party at its conclusion ex-

hausted after the long hot day.

The second day of the regatta was a

day of scorching heat and no wind.

The judges were very wise and very

kind and kept the fleet on the shore

until it was determined that there was

no choice but to sound the three long

horns. Beulah showed strong at the

regatta with George Kiernan/Eric Ko-

mas winning the X-treme, Scott/Erin

Sullivan 3rd place, Cullen Barr/John

Berg 5th place, and Riley Schmidt/

Sarah Kubicek, 9th place to round out

Beulah in the top ten.

Swarm of “B’s” take WYA at Nagawicka By Joe Sko The WYA X regatta on the July 22-

24th weekend had 64 participants from

the various lakes including a dozen or

so from Beulah. The forecast was

pretty crummy but Saturday dawned

beautiful with nice breezes on Na-

gawicka. The group assembled and

away they went! Like a thoroughbred

favorite making the way to the rail at

the Kentucky Derby, MC (Mary Claire

Kiernan) and Nora started clean and

fast and worked the middle and made

it to the lead by the top mark. From

there they sailed nothing short of bril-

liantly the rest of the way, as they

pulled away and extended their lead

at each rounding. It was truly a thing

of beauty and they won the first race

going away. A slew of other Beulah

boats in the top group as well. Race

two started shortly thereafter and,

squarely in the ‘apple doesn’t fall far

from the tree’ department, Cullen Barr

with John Berg aboard was almost all

alone down the far port end of the

line. Sure enough, off they went like

launched out of a cannon! There was

some wrangling back and forth until B-

6 took full control on a subsequent

beat and pulled away for a serious

horizon job to take another Beulah

bullet! Showing that almost anything

she can do he can do almost as well,

brother, George Kiernan and Charlie

Kutschenreuter put on a highly spirited

duel to the finish for 3rd place, with 16

crossing the line just feet ahead of the

21 with Scott Sullivan and Olivia just

behind them. In for lunch, and that

ended up being all the sailing that

there was to be done on Saturday. At

the end of the day Charlie and Alex

led the fleet by virtue of their 6-3 con-

sistency as the fleet was a bit all over

the map. Sunday morning, one race

was completed and it ended up being

more than just a little bit crapshootish,

and some kid from Okauchee snuck in

to take the title. That kid was followed

in order by a swarm of B’s – 6 then 16

(who tied for 2nd

) and 11 and 19

(who tied for fourth, with Andrea

and Darby showing the power of

girls in taking the tiebreaker after

finishing the last race 3rd, and also

taking the Top Female award). Four

out of the top five, with a slew of other

good race finishes. All in all a fine

Beulah showing!

Exciting 420 Sailing By Jeff Hudson

Earlier this month, four Beulah belles

set out to compete with trapeze and

spinnakers in two National Club 420

regattas. First up was the U.S. Junior

Women's Double-handed Champi-

onship for the Ida Lewis Trophy

hosted by Mantoloking Yacht Club and

Bay Head Yacht Club in New Jersey.

Despite strong 15 to 20 knot winds,

Mary Claire Kiernan and Olivia

Healy fought to finish 15th overall

out of 40 teams. Kate Klement and

Teresa Westin finished 18th. High-

light race of the event was race 4 in

which Mary Claire and Kate finished

3rd and 4

th, respectively. Isabella

Loosbrock / Madeleine Loosbrock of

Minnetonka finished 10th overall, Addy

Ferguson / Hayley Jewett of Minne-

tonka finished 11th, and Leslie Poole/

Elizabeth Foulston of Lake Geneva

finished 25th. The regatta was won by

Sarah Williams and Ali Blumenthal

from the host yacht club in New Jersey

and members of I-420 Team USA.

The following weekend, the ladies

travelled to Wilmette, Illinois to com-

pete in the Club 420 Nationals hosted

by Sheridan Shore Yacht Club. De-

spite sailing against seventy one

teams over three of the hottest day of

the summer, the ladies represented

our club well. Kiernan/Healy finished

37th while Klement/Westin finished

52nd. Next up for Kiernan and Healy

is a return to X boats, but the future is

bright for our Club 420 sailors.

Why not LBYC emails to each family member?

Wondering what to do about all these emails you receive

from the club? The website works best when an email ad-

dress is listed for each member. All members, children in-

cluded, have an individual profile. To exclude your children

from receiving the emails, go to your individual profile and

unclick the box designating email receipts. DO NOT ERASE

THE EMAIL ADDRESS. The program generates labels for

the Mainsheet based on those who do not have an email list-

ing. Fortunately there are only 5 of you without email. If this

all sounds too complicated, just email Candace and she will

delete the ability to receive emails for your children.
