The paint- ing was chosen as a tribute to all the things that I-LYA has grown to be. It is hoped that the members enjoy the cover as much as the Artist enjoyed painting it. www.i-lya.org Inter-Lake Yachting Association 2016 1 We treat your boat like it’s our own SALES & SERVICE Expert Hull Repair & Refinishing 2650 Front Road, LaSalle, Ontario Lat: 42 12.35N Long: 83 08.20W 519-734-1602 30 Ton Lift www.stclairmarine.ca MARINE SERVICE — Fiberglass, Gelcoat, Awlgrip, Kiwigrip, Woodwork, etc CERTIFIED — Raymarine Supplier and Installer, Yanmar Dealer, etc. STORAGE — Short and Long Term Storage Available Fair Winds to All I-LYA Members Wildwood Yacht Club Organized July 15, 1953 Commodore Jacob Bulk Vice Commodore Kern Swope Rear Commodore Chris Novicky and the Officers, Trustees and Members Congratulations Com. Chris Amlin I-LYA 2016 Welcome extended to all I-LYA, GCBA and AYC members 216-531-9052 2 Inter-Lake Yachting Association 2016 From the Commodore This year we celebrate the 123rd Annual Sail Regatta, the 41st Power Boat Regatta, the 61st Junior Sail Regatta and I-LYA’s 131st birthday! This is an excit- ing year for Lady Sharon and me as well as the rest of Team 2016. Every year, the Commodore wants to leave the organization just a little better than the last and we are no exception to that rule. Team 2016 has been working hard all through the winter to find ways to deliver an improved program regardless of sail or power and I believe that our folks have done just that. I am amazed at just how many people it takes to prepare and deliver the events that I-LYA will host this year. The time, dedication, energy and effort that it takes to prepare and plan our meetings and regattas is huge, and with- out the support of our volunteers that sit on the various committees, this simply could not be done. I would like to extend a special note of thanks to Senior Power Chair and Rear Commodore Mike Powers, Senior Sail Chair Jim Miller, Junior Power Chair Bob Lang, and Junior Sail Chair Dave Chapman for heading up our regattas for 2016. There is very little doubt that these events will be successful as a result of their efforts and that of their volunteers. Another incredibly important group are the businesses that support I-LYA in terms of sponsorship, advertising and in-kind contributions. As you read through the 2016 yearbook, please take note of the goods and services these Chris Amlin folks provide and if at all possible, utilize their companies. Without them, 2016 I-LYA Commodore our regattas would be neither financially viable nor affordable. For the 2016 season, The Yachtsmen’s Fund has again stepped up to support our Junior Sail and Junior Power programs. The dollar-per-member contributions that the Power and Sail Clubs make to the Yachtsmen’s Fund allow it to continue to offer the level of financial support that the Junior programs need to sur- vive. If your Club wishes to become a dollar-per-member contributor, please I-LYA contact any of the Fund trustees. Contact information can be found within Event Dates the 2016 yearbook. To all those folks that support the Inter-Lake Yachting Association… Thank you ! 2016 In closing, I would be remiss if I didn’t recognize the Village of Put-in-Bay, April 1–2 Spring Meeting Put-in-Bay Yacht Club and the Put-in-Bay Chamber of Commerce. Together, July 17–21 Junior Bay Week they truly are the best example of partnership between local business, local Aug 3–4 Deepwater Races government, private groups and associations such as ours. The spirit of co- operation has been stellar this year and with their continued support, the Aug 4–7 Sail Regatta future of our Regattas at the Bay looks bright. By combining our needs, we Aug. 10–14 Junior & Senior deliver a destination for families both young and old, activities and competi- Powerboat Regattas tions for our on-the-water community, and more importantly a learning cen- Dec. 2–3 Fall Meeting at the ter for our junior athletes where sportsmanship, camaraderie, education, and Holiday Inn French safe boat handling are at the forefront. It is an honor to represent Inter-Lake Quarter, Perrysburg Yachting Association in 2016 and Lady Sharon and I commit to doing all in our power to ensure that the I-LYA legacy continues for years to come.

His family moved from there to Vancouver Island, British Columbia where his father, Bill, worked in the lumber mill. Eventually the family moved back to Amherstburg, Ontario where Chris attended grade school and later, General Amherst High School. He attended St. Clair College in Windsor, Ontario; Georgian College at the Owen Sound Campus for Ontario Land Surveying; and Ryerson University for engineering. After working in survey- ing, construction, and owning his own business, Chris is currently working as a Senior Project Director out of Vancouver, British Columbia for the Ledcor Group. His job requires him to travel extensively and, at times, he seems to spend more time in airports and in the air than anywhere else ! Chris has a daughter, Alysha (Dave), from his previous marriage and she and her husband are expecting their first child. Sharon has a son, Jason (Emily), from her first marriage. Jason and Emily are proud parents of a son, Preston Michael French, who was born on October 17, 2015, making Chris and Sharon first-time grandparents. Chris and Sharon are also very fond of their two dogs Angel and Molly. Chris’ early years of boating involved a 16' fishing boat, a 28' Rinker, a 34' Wellcraft, and finally, the 420 Sea Ray, called Insta Gator III, The Finale! It has been suggested that Insta Gator III, The Finale?? might be more appropri- ate but Sharon is standing firm to this boat definitely being The Finale.
