2020 Western Region Championship
RESULTS
The 2020 DN Western Region regatta was sailed on Lake Puckaway in Wisconsin the weekend of January 4-5, 2020. Conditions were about as perfect as ice sailing can be with hard ice and constant breeze over both days. Congratulations to all who made the effort to attend this event. The Youtube video embedded above is a collection of raw footage downloaded from the Facebook accounts of Deb Whitehorse, Pat Heppert, and Jeff Kent.
A huge thanks to all who volunteered for Race Commitee including Western Region Commodore Daniel Hearn, Co-PROs Joe Norton & Dan Heaney, the scoring team of Erica Stange, Mercedes Auger, Pat Heppert, and Julie Jankowski, Fred Stritt at the weather mark,Terry Reynolds and Maureen Bohleber who stepped up where ever needed.
See you on January 19, 2020 at the North American Championship. What, you haven’t registered? There’s still time to join the fun, information here.
You’ve worked hard this year, so go ahead and buy yourself that gift you’ve been putting off—that registration for the DN North American Championships. If you get it done before midnight today, the Grinch won’t even slap you with that $50 late registration fee, that we’re not calling a late registration fee. We’re calling it a “convenience fee,” because pre-event research revealed that ice sailors prefer to spin things toward the positive. So, we’re offering you the convenience of registering after midnight tonight for JUST an additional $50 bucks. Yes, you heard that right, JUST $50 bucks. What’s $50 bucks, anyway? Your weekly Starbucks budget? A week’s cable bill? The tip you left for the cocktail waitress at the last regatta? Chump change! So go ahead, put it off as long as you like, we’ll still welcome you at the event like the prodigal son.
As long as you’re in the giving spirit, how about buying your spouse, your latest Tinder hookup, your kid or a good friend a customized Twenty20 North American Championship thermal vest, customized with their sail number, name or secret message that only the two of you will understand. $45 bucks and an email to Deb Whitehorse with the men’s or women’s size selection and the custom embroidery you want, and your love vest will be delivered to you at the Championships. To get in on this deal, however, you must email Deb by midnight December 31.
