2022 U.S. Nationals Update #3 Jan 21, 2022
Walled Lake in Novi, Michigan is no longer under consideration as the site for the 2022 U.S. Nationals. Safety, launch, parking, and course size were factors in that decision. Lake Monona in Madison, Wisconsin is the primary site. Two ranked sailors are inspecting and sailing the lake this morning. Weather will play a factor in the decision to hold the regatta. We are waiting for a report from a professional weather forecaster. Racing is still scheduled to begin on Sunday, January 23 at 10 AM local time. Next update is Friday, January 21, at 2 PM CT/ 3 PM ET. Thank you for your continued patience.
We have two sites under consideration, the primary site of Walled Lake, Novi, Michigan and alternate site of Lake Monona in Madison, Wisconsin. We need more time to look at incoming weather and work through the details of a smaller venue at Walled. Racing is still scheduled to begin on Sunday, January 23 at 10 AM local time. Next update is Friday, January 21, at 2 PM CT/ 3 PM ET. Thank you for your continued patience.
The governing board has met tonight via conference call. We are still in the process of gathering information about potential sites and will reconvene later tonight. We will post the next update by 9 PM CT/ 10 PM ET. Stand by for update #2 tonight. Thank you for your patience.
US Nationals Site Selection Preliminary Update
We thank you for your patience. Scouts continue to search for regatta ice in northern Michigan and Ohio. We have one confirmed site in the Madison, WI area, possibly two, with a possible back up site just north but with chances of snow during the week.
We will have an update tonight, January 20, 2022, by 8 PM CT/ 9 PM ET.
