Western Region Commodore Mike Miller has just released the latest list of those registered for the 2017 DN Worlds & North Americans. See it on the 2017 Worlds page or click here to open the pdf file.

“The weather in Northern Michigan has not been cooperating lately. Although we currently have 2 regatta sized lakes that have frozen, they are also snow covered. The very cold upcoming weather brings hopes of more potential venues throughout the central region. I am hoping to find or get word of sailable ice for a mid week regatta between Christmas and New Year’s. Ice checkers – please let me know of any prospects in the region.”
