Regatta Update – Postponement and Site Decision
Late this afternoon, the Board held a scheduled call with our weather service. The forecast has changed materially since earlier predictions, with significantly more snow now expected on Sunday, January 25 in the Syracuse, Indiana area.
Based on this updated information, we are postponing both check-in and racing scheduled for Sunday, January 25.
What this means now
Sunday, January 25: No check-in or racing.
A final decision on whether we remain at Lake Wawasee or relocate to Green Lake, Wisconsin will be announced by 5:00 PM on Sunday, January 25, or sooner if conditions allow.
This decision is dependent on observed snowfall amounts, ice conditions, and forecast confidence.
Schedule going forward
If we remain at Lake Wawasee:
Monday, January 26: Check-in from 3:00–5:00 PM (as stated in the Notice of Race)
Tuesday, January 27, 2025: First day of racing at the time stated in the Sailing Instructions
If we relocate to Green Lake, Wisconsin:
Monday, January 26: Check-in from 3:00–5:00 PM
Tuesday, January 27, 2025: First day of racing at the time stated in the Sailing Instructions
Green Lake note:
Sunday, January 25: Ranked sailors will be sailing at Green Lake, Wisconsin.
We understand the disruption this creates for travel and planning. This decision was made to preserve the integrity of the racing and to avoid committing competitors and volunteers to conditions that may not be raceable.
Please continue to monitor official communications. Updates will be issued as soon as decisions are made. Thank you for your patience.
