Midwest Sunfish Circuit
- 2005
Midwest Regatta Series had 133 participants in 2005. Competative
racing, great comradery and fabulous after race parties marked
our second year for the Midwest Regatta Series. Six Yacht
Club Regattas spread over Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, and Illinois
hosted 133 participants from June through October. When
all the racing was completed we had twelve skippers who sailed
three or more regatts. This is twice as many as we had
in our first season (2004) to compete in at least half of the
series scheduled regattas. Three of the twelve skippers
this year were Juniors. Five different yacht clubs placed
skippers in the top twelve, although Lake Bluff Yacht Club took
the top five spots. No single skipper won or took second
in more than one of the six series regattas. Very competitive!
What also continues to bring sailors out is the outstanding
meals and parties by each host yacht club. What a great
way to spend a weekend.
