Lakes in Madison and the Bay of Quinte in Trenton, Ontario will be sailed the morning of Friday, January 19.  We still have a real issue with finding a sailable site. We have 2 possible sites but both have weather issues.

Registration will begin Sunday afternoon, January 22.  Anticipated first day of racing is Monday, January 23.

Thank you for your patience we will let you know more information as soon as we can.

Next update: Friday, January 20, 2017 at 1 PM CST (2 PM Eastern)

WESTERN REGION HOTLINE: 608-313-5156

Conditions in some of the WI sites have deteriorated because of the warm weather and we are evaluating other possibilities. We are looking at Trenton, Ontario as a possible site. Please check back for the next update, tonight, at 7 PM CST (8 PM Eastern). Thank you for your patience.

Next update: Thursday, January 19, 2017 at 7 PM CST (8 PM Eastern)

WESTERN REGION HOTLINE: 608-313-5156

Begin heading west because there are 3 sites under consideration in Wisconsin. At this time there’s nothing being considered east of Houghton Lake in Michigan.

• Lake Superior at Red Cliff (near Bayfield)
• West end of Lake Mendota in Madison
• Lake Winnebago at Oshkosh

Lake Superior and Mendota will be sailed tomorrow and evaluated. The continued warm weather has proved challenging in determining the best possible site.

There will be another conference call on Thursday, January 19 and our goal is to make the final decision by 1:45 PM CST (2:45 PM EST).

Next update: Thursday, January 19, 2017 at 1:45 PM CST

WESTERN REGION HOTLINE: 608-313-5156

The Governing Board, Rear Commodores, and other Western Region members held a telephone conference call this evening to discuss possible regatta sites. Though it’s more than likely there are good sites available in the Western Region, we are asking ice scouts across North America to continue to report conditions to their Rear Commodores. At this point, the primary site continues to be Wisconsin but we do have options in other regions.
Next update will be Wednesday, January 18, 8:30 PM CST.
