2 Inter-Lake Yachting Association 2020 From the Commodore

Greetings from the Bridge! First let me start out by stating what an honor and privilege it is to be the Commodore of I-LYA. When I was elected, I had no idea what 2020 was going to bring. We put together our Boat Show plans and kicked off 2020 on the road to great success. As we are all aware, the world came to a screeching halt with the pandemic. We had to cancel our Spring meeting and then we had to cancel what would have been the 65th year of Junior Bay. Pam and I were really looking forward to that event. After the tough decision to cancel, we turned our focus to this yearbook. I am sure you can imagine the difficulty in obtaining sponsors and ads needed to publish the yearbook as everything was closed and/or communication was delayed. To say the least, 2020 has been an incredibly challenging year thus far. What I have learned most about this organization is the spirit of not want- ing to give up. The Board of Trustees, the Yachtsmen’s Fund, the Bridge, the past commodores, and of course, this membership are stepping up and work- ing tremendously hard to make the second half of 2020 the best it can be. The Regatta is still on schedule to move forward on July 29 – August 1. The Sail Committee is working extremely hard to make sure everyone has a great time on the water while maintaining safe distancing on shore. The same is happening with the Power Regatta scheduled for August 4 – 9. The Power Steve Hyder Regatta committee is working non-stop to make sure the regatta is safe and 2020 I-LYA Commodore everyone has a great time. The Regattas will be held and we will practice all the safety recommenda- tions from the CDC. We are boaters and we enjoy the greatest natural resource that God has given us. The Regattas will allow us to take time away from this crazy world, enjoy the camaraderie with one another, and see friends perhaps not seen since last year. This is what the Regattas are about. I-LYA The unbelievably dedicated people I have met throughout the three years I Event Dates have served are humbling and they make our organization unstoppable. Each year the Commodore recognizes just a few that stand out. This year Bruce 2020 Sattler was awarded 2020 Yachtsman of the Year. The 2020 Yacht Union Racing Cancelled Spring Meeting Trophy went to Rear Commodore Mike Fishbaugh, and the 2020 Skipper of Cancelled Junior Bay Week the Year is Brian Moyer. The 2020 Commodore’s Award was presented to July 29–31 Deepwater Races Leslie Hill. These recipients truly represent the hardworking dedication of all our members. July 31– Aug. 2 Sail Regatta This year I-LYA lost three wonderful ladies who dedicated their time and Aug. 4–9 Junior & Senior energy to the continued success of our organization: 1981 Lady Kay Drake, Powerboat Regattas 1989 Lady Marilyn Krotseng, 1995 Lady Carol Mock. All of you will be deeply Dec. 11–12 Fall Meeting at missed. Sail on in peace! the Sheraton Detroit As we all know, there is no way anyone can go through their Commodore Metro Airport year alone and without the support of the perfect first mate. Lady Pam has stood by me and has truly been my anchor and support throughout this very tough year. I hope to see all of you at this year’s regattas. Please enjoy the lake and stay safe. Very truly yours,

Steven M. Hyder 2020 Commodore

Inter-Lake Yachting Association 2020 3 4 Inter-Lake Yachting Association 2020 Meet the Commodore

2020 Commodore Steve Hyder was born and raised in Adrian, MI. Steve worked as an apprentice electri- cian while going to high school and college. He attended Eastern University and graduated with a bach- elor’s degree in Public Law & Government and a minor in Communications. After graduation, Steve changed direc- tions and became an EMT. After several years of working as an EMT, he decided to pursue his dream of becom- ing an attorney and received his Juris Doctorate from Thomas Cooley School of Law in 2006. Steve is a man of many talents — electrician, paramedic, and attorney! Steve became active on the water at an early age as he loved fishing with his father. His family purchased a cot- tage on Devil’s Lake, and this is where he could be found every spring/summer weekend, always doing something on the water including scuba diving. However, the lake Steve and Pam fun did not stop in the summer, as Steve enjoyed snow- mobiling on the frozen lake in the winter, too. Steve has held a multitude of positions in boat clubs and boating organi- zations. He became a member of Detroit Beach Boat Club in 2004, served as Entertainment Chairman in 2007, eventually going through the chairs to become Commodore in 2010. He then went on to serve for the Associated Yacht Clubs as Nominating Committee member in 2011, Sergeant-at-Arms in 2012, Rear Commodore (2013), Vice Commodore (2014), and was the 2015 AYC Commodore. In addition, Steve has served as AYC Ways & Means chairman in 2017 and 2019. Steve is also a co-chairman of the 2021 AYC Commodore’s Ball. While Steve was serving DBBC and AYC, he became very involved in I-LYA. He was, consecutively, the Power Regatta Secretary, Treasurer, Vice Chairman, and then Chairman from 2009–2012. Steve has also served on the Yachtsmen’s Fund and I-LYA Trustee Board. Steve is a Life Member of the Yachtsmen’s Fund. Steve met Lady Pam at one of the multiple boating functions they both attend. Steve and Pam enjoy making lifelong friends from all around Lake Erie. They both love Put-in-Bay and go every chance they can. Steve and Pam joined Put-in-Bay Yacht Club (PIBYC) in 2018 and have made even more friends since then. In late August, Steve can be found on a football field every Friday evening refereeing high school football. Yes, he has been knocked down a few times, but loves the game! Steve and Pam spend as much time as possible on the water where all their worries float away. In off-boating season, they can be found attending mul- tiple boating events representing DBBC, AYC, and I-LYA. Steve and Pam also try to work in a vacation or two in the winter months to one of their favorite vacation spots (always near or on the water). Steve is honored to have been elected to the position of I-LYA Commodore for 2020. Despite facing many challenges with our recent pandemic, he is committed to leading this great organization.

Inter-Lake Yachting Association 2020 5 6 Inter-Lake Yachting Association 2020 Detroit Beach Boat Club

Detroit Beach Boat Club was founded in 1939 by 32 men who all lived within the Detroit Beach Association subdivision. A single dock, which was home to a dozen boats, extended into Sandy Creek and the open waters of Lake Erie. A small garage-sized building was the gathering place. Early years saw little growth as the country was heavily focused on the war effort. Eventually, however, as fuel became more plentiful, fishermen gave way to families who enjoyed cruising on the lake and visiting neighboring clubs. Membership at the time was limited to Detroit Beach residents, so DBBC remained a quiet place where members enjoyed the “honor system” bar in the clubhouse and gathered under the large elm tree that grew on the dike. 1949 saw the club’s first regatta in which hydroplanes raced out front on the lagoon waters. They were quite popular and became a part of the annual regatta until 1961 when interest in these little boats diminished and the races were discontinued. To help fill the void, DBBC hosted a water ski exhibition but logistical problems associ- ated with the huge crowds it attracted prompted the switch to the “Homecoming Steak Roast” format still used today. A Luau was added earlier in the summer as another entertain- ment option for members and the general public. In 1965, membership expanded and an addition to the building on the east and west ends was completed, using mostly member volunteers. 1968 saw a unique construc- tion project in which the center building was encased in a new two-story Detroit Beach Boat Club is proud structure. The old section remained in use during this period of construction to be home port to many leaders. and was not torn down until the new shell was complete. 1970 saw the DBBC burgee and its members appearing at more and more dis- I-LYA Commodores: tant events. It was not unusual to see visiting boats outnumbering home vessels Byron Kosino (1985) at our docks on a summer weekend. Record high lake levels and high winds in Allen Ashley (1999) April 1973 brought water surging over the dike wall to flood the club building Steve Hyder (2020) and grounds. The membership pulled together and again made the necessary repairs. Improvements came yearly and it was not long before DBBC earned a AYC Past Commodores: reputation as a friendly port due to its social events and wonderful amenities. Walt Firman (1954) Declining interest and a changing neighborhood, along with the Vietnam War, Byron Kosino (1977) took a toll on the membership in the early 70s. In 1975 membership was opened Allen Sander (1984) to non-subdivision property owners and the club began to fill with new faces. Allen Ashley (1994) The new members helped make more improvements to the docks and clubhouse Jim McDevitt (2003) which in turn attracted even more members. Steve Hyder (2015) In 1984, the year after the Michigan DNR dredged Sandy Creek to maintain access to Sterling State Park, DBBC added a second-floor deck and bar facil- ity followed by a large pavilion, playground, expanded parking lots and in 1989, a new dike. Improvements to existing structures and docks continued detroitbeachboatclub.com over the next twenty years, but the volunteers really got busy after 2010 when members approved the purchase of all the property, including the previously leased clubhouse land. The second-floor deck was renovated in 2015 along with replacement of the patio below it and in 2017, a complete renovation of the first-floor bar and hall area was completed. The top of the new bar which is three times bigger than the previous one was done in concrete with blue and white dye representing the lake we love. The future of DBBC is a bright one and our opportunities are limitless. There is no doubt why DBBC is “The Friendliest Club on Lake Erie.”.

Inter-Lake Yachting Association 2020 13 Yachtsman of the Year

Bruce Sattler, Catawba West Harbor Yacht Club Yachtsman of the Year was created to recognize one of (or sometimes sev- eral of) the volunteers who freely donate their time, vacations, talents, exper- tise, or even boats and equipment to ensure the continued success of yacht racing competition and the I-LYA organization. One of the hardest decisions for a Commodore is deciding who to honor with this award. There are many people in this organization that dedicate time and energy to the success of I-LYA. This year it is with great honor and privilege that I award the 2020 I-LYA Yachtsman of the Year to 2019 GCBA Commander Bruce Sattler. Bruce has been involved with I-LYA for many, many years. He has served under several commodores as Fleet Captain and Power Boat Chairman. He has served I-LYA as a Trustee and is often the “man to go Congratulations, Bruce Sattler! to” when you need something. He doesn’t need a title, he doesn’t need to be 2020 I-LYA Yachtsman of the Year “asked,” he just sees a need, gets his hands dirty and gets the job done. I have gotten to know Bruce over the years, and I don’t remember a time that he isn’t doing something for the organization. He is always there whenever you need someone. He works non-stop to make our regattas and this organization the best they can be. He is the first to show up and the last to leave. THANK YOU, Bruce, for all your years of dedication to I-LYA. I can not think of a better recipient for this prestigious award. — 2020 I-LYA Commodore Steve Hyder

Commodore’s Awards

Leslie Hill, North Cape Yacht Club It was my distinct honor and humbling privilege to award Leslie Hill of North Cape Yacht Club the 2020 Commodore’s Award for I-LYA. It takes a dedicated group of volunteers to run an event the size of I-LYA’s Junior Bay Week and Leslie is a standout volunteer among many. She is one of those special people who devote their time and energy and enthusiasm for the benefit of all. Leslie shines because she always shares her knowledge with all the clubs and used her position as Safety Chair to educate all the parents and sailors about how to make our sport as safe as possible. As Safety Chair, she educated us about concussion protocols, helmet use, and made the North Cape Safety Kits available for loan at Junior Bay. She made safety a priority and we should all be thankful. Leslie’s tireless efforts within I-LYA also included a stint as Junior Activities I-LYA Commodore’s Award winner Leslie Chairman where she helped organize and schedule the very successful I-LYA Hill with her children, Madeline and Joey Traveler Series. Under her leadership, efforts to balance training and racing . Both Madeline and Joey are past continued with MHYC hosting Junior Olympic Festivals with coaching clinics recipients of individual sportsmanship and NCYC hosting Advanced Racing Seminars where Leslie also took on the trophies at Junior Bay Week. task of feeding all the participants. Whether coordinating safety boat assignments, preaching concussion awareness, or manning the kitchen, Leslie brings 100% to every task she takes on and we in I-LYA celebrate her achievements and say: Thank you, Leslie, for everything you do!!!

14 Inter-Lake Yachting Association 2020 I-LYA Honorary Regatta Chairman

The I-LYA Honorary Regatta Chairman is awarded to an individual who has displayed his or her dedication over the years to I-LYA and our four regattas and who has consistently cooperated and helped with the goals of I-LYA and our affiliates on and off the Island. Tim Niese Tim Niese first discovered Put-in-Bay in 1973 at the age of 16. It was at his prompting that his father, Tipper Niese, took over management of the Island General Store launching the beginning of the Niese family’s active participation in the growth and development of the island community. Tim spent the next 2 decades earning a degree in Criminal Justice, raising a family and working for the City of Sandusky Police Department. With his father an active business- man on the island, the island was always in the back of his mind. As the island became increasingly busy, he recognized that there was a shortage of modern hotel accommodations. When he retired from SCPD, he decided to address that shortage and built the Islander Inn. Two expansions and the acquisition of Parker’s Inn, which was built where the old gas station used to be, gave him a facility large enough to house all of the Junior Bay sailors and their chap- erones—which he has done now for over two decades. In 2007, he built the Niagara Event Center, which he allows I-LYA to use each year for banquets and awards at reduced rates. He is truly a great friend and supporter of I-LYA. Tim is also the force behind Bash at the Bay which has turned into a monster musi- Tim Niese cal event at the end of each summer. Tim brings in civic groups, including the I-LYA, to help with this event and raise money for their respective organizations.

Yacht Racing Union Trophy

Mike Fishbaugh, Sandusky Sailing Club The Yacht Racing Union was the pre-curser to the present-day sailing body of US Sailing. The trophy is awarded to a person who has gone above and beyond to ensure the success of the I-LYA Sail Regatta. There are so many people who work non-stop to make the Sail Regatta a success year-in and year-out. However, there is one person who has been extremely dedicated to this regatta over the years. He chaired the event in 2012 and 2013, he’s vice chaired it three times and has continued to support this event as well as Deepwater in a variety of other roles. Congratulations to 2020 I-LYA Rear Commodore Mike Fishbaugh for everything you have done for the Sail Regatta. I can’t think of anyone more deserving. — 2020 I-LYA Commodore Steve Hyder Congratulations, Mike Fishbaugh! 2020 I-LYA Yacht Racing Union Trophy winner

1978 marked the beginning of a tradition that has been adopted by each administration since. Commodore Norm Winkel determined that recognition should be given to the many volunteers who freely donate their time, vacations, talents, expertise, and even boats and equipment to ensure the continued success of yacht racing competition and the I-LYA organization.

22 Inter-Lake Yachting Association 2020 Play Ball! A Short History of Bay Week Softball By Com. Douglas Hogan with input from I-LYA Historian Tom Thanasiu Jr.

Bay Week softball, as we now know it, began back in the early 70s when the I-LYA Sail Regatta hosted over 300 sailboats. The bigger sailboats had larger crews who spent a lot of time enjoying the party life of Put-in-Bay. Skippers felt their crews were not capable of performing at their best after an afternoon and evening of socializing. Thus, searching to find a good way for the young sailors to blow off steam following a day of racing, it was suggested that they play softball. To the best of our knowledge, it was Commodore Keith Davis of Cooley Canal Yacht Club that enlisted some help from his home club and got Art Kreger and Bill Martin to organize a softball tournament using Mother of Sorrow’s ball dia- mond. At that time, with the big boats and large crews, there were enough play- ers to hold softball games over three days. Games were held on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday with accolades to the winners on Wednesday along with the racing awards. The winner of the first softball tournament in 1976 was NCYC. U.S. yacht clubs from Erie, PA. to Detroit, MI. as well as some Canadian clubs par- Art Kreger ticipated. Credit for establishing the tournament goes out to Art Kreger and Bill Martin from CCYC who were named the first I-LYA Sports Ashore Chairmen. Art and Bill were assisted by Dave Horn from EMBC. By the late 80s, Mike Bureau had succeeded Art Kreger as Sports Ashore Chairman. As the size of the sail regatta diminished, the tournament grew smaller and ultimately moved over to the Powerboat Regatta. When Doug Hogan took over as Sports Ashore Chair in 1991, he tried a couple of things to build the softball tournament, but nothing seemed to work until he chal- lenged Rocco DiLillo from West Channel YC to an East vs. West softball game. Doug Hogan was a Past Commodore of AYC (Associated Yacht Clubs) at the time, so a game against the members of GCBA (Greater Cleveland Boating Association) seemed like a great idea. Rocco accepted the challenge—loser buys a keg of beer—and the game was scheduled for Tuesday during the Powerboat Regatta. AYC won the first game and is still waiting for the keg! The Bureau Family contributed a trophy which was then given to the annual winner of the regatta softball game. The softball game still continues today under new management. Dave Grey from CPYC took over as the chairman for GCBA for a period of time and was then replaced by Rich McKee Jr. who is still playing today. The Cousneau Family took over from Doug Hogan as the AYC Softball Chairman. Doug became the Softball Commissioner and home plate umpire with the three I-LYA Commodores as base umpires. Doug retired in 2018 after many years of great and happy memories.

Jim Dupré James D. DuPré was born on June 25, 1941 and passed on July 17, 2019. Jim was born and raised in Sylvania, Ohio. He was one of four brothers. Jim was always an outdoor person. He loved fishing, hunting and most of all boating. He and Betty joined River View Yacht Club in 1980. The membership was a birthday present to Betty, but as Jim’s love of boating had began long before that, it didn’t take long before they were both very involved in the club. In the mid 80s Jim and Betty decided they would like to take part in I-LYA and never missed a year after that. Jim held several offices at RVYC and in 1996 decided it was time to be the Commodore. While holding that office he told his Bridge Officers that he expected them to be at the I-LYA regatta that summer, as none of them had ever attended, and they honored his wish. One of those officers has never missed a year since. That officer being RVYC PC Al Antoine. In 2002 while serving as one of Commodore Doug Hogan’s Fleet Captains, Jim thought he would like to be even more involved in I-LYA and decided to run for the office of trustee. He was elected to the position and that same year he became the Commodore of River View for the second time. It was while 2007 Commodore serving as I-LYA trustee that he decided it was time for him to seek the postion James D. DuPré of I-LYA Commodore. “Never a dull moment with this man,” was Betty’s say- June 25, 1941 – July 17, 2019 ing. So in 2007, Jim became the Commodore of I-LYA. While going through the chairs of I-LYA, he and ORYC PC Gary Ryan started the Junior Power program and, thanks to this year’s Rear Commodore Bob Lang, it is doing very well today.

Rolf Krotseng The 96th Commodore of the Inter-Lake Yachting Association hailed From Edgewater Yacht Club in Cleveland. An avid sailor who loved to be involved in all aspects of the sport, he was particularly proud of his time dedicated to I-LYA. Rolf and Marilyn joined Edgewater in 1969 and soon became immersed in every aspect of the club and all that it had to offer. Racing their , Witch Thimble, they traveled near and far. Their travels included such far off destinations as Deep Creek, for the Nationals — it was all their Ford Fairlane 500 could muster through the eastern hills of the US! Back in Ohio, the trip of the sum- mer was always to Put-in-Bay. Over the years, their friends on the island read like a who’s who. Their chil- dren, Stephanie, Dave, Tom, and Andy always had a “parent” watch- ing over them no matter where they went. From the first days staying at the State Park to the present day, 1989 Commodore they have always felt the welcome Rolf Krotseng only Islanders could give. October 6, 1930 – November 9, 2019 Rolf encouraged the Association to greater involvement in one design racing. In the years leading up to the 1976 Olympics, I-LYA held “Spirit” regattas at Sandusky attracting sailing greats such as the Harken Brothers and Olympic great Peter Barrett to Lake Erie. One of the sto- ries goes that Bill Bentsen of the US Olympic Committee was there to observe the racing. Noticing a power boat with a bunch of “guys in whites,” he inquired who they were. After hearing they were all Past Commodores, his response was, “Do you mean to say you let Commodores run your race committee? At our club we don’t even let them on the race course!” Organizing events and individuals the likes of John and Phoebe Borman, Jim Crane, and cadre of Commodores, Rolf immersed himself in volunteer- ing his time to ensure that the regattas were as successful as possible. Later, he would also serve as the President of the Yacht Racing Union of the Great Lakes and organized several runnings of the Great Lakes Championship, a match racing event. Many other organizations also benefitted from his time. He served as Commodore of the Ohio Inter-Club Yachting Association, Rear Commodore of MORC International, Vice Commodore of MORC Station 14, and as a United States Yacht Racing Union Certified Race Officer. Rolf and Marilyn gave every ounce of their time to the Inter-Lake Yachting Association. As memorial- ized on cocktail napkins from his 1989 Commodore year stated, “Yachting forever — yardwork whenever!”

Daniel van Heeckeren Commodore Daniel W. van Heeckeren served I-LYA as Commodore in 2003. Born in Nootdorp, Netherlands in 1936, descendant of a Dutch royal family, Dan held the title of Baron. After immigrating to the United States and becoming a U.S. citizen in 1970, he was no longer eligible to use that title. “Dr. Dan” attended Colby College in Waterville, where he received his BA in physics, Harvard Medical School, where he earned his MD, Yale-New Haven Hospital where he was a Resident and then Chief Resident of Surgery, and Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden as a Fellow in cardiothoracic surgery. Working in a number of Cleveland area hospitals throughout his career, and as an Assistant Professor at Case Western Reserve University, he saved thousands of lives and taught hun- dreds of medical students surgical procedures and bedside manner, thus saving many thousands more throughout his career. He and his wife, Doris, were well known for their philanthropy — championing democracy, justice, and equal rights for all, educating young people in sailing & boating, and helping oth- ers living with Parkinson’s disease, 2003 Commodore among many others. As members of Dr. Daniel W. van Heeckeren Mentor Harbor Yachting Club, and December 1, 1936 – June 9, 2020 later Edgewater Yacht Club, Dan & Doris were very active in sailing on Lake Erie, in I-LYA, and in US Sailing as a National Judge and serving on several committees. Dan’s Commodore year, 2003, was the Bicentennial of the State of Ohio and also the 30th anniversary of he and Doris joining Mentor Harbor Yachting Club, their 40th wedding anniversary (celebrated during the regatta), and the 30th anniversary of the van Heeckerens sailing at I-LYA Bay Week. In those years, his racing at the event was only interrupted twice – once when the boat had run aground returning from Mackinac Island, and the pre- vious year when his Vice Commodore duties necessitated him staying ashore. Following his year as Commodore, Dan & Doris became the co-Chairs for the I-LYA Junior Championships in 2004, chairing the event in 2005. The 2005 event attracted 176 junior sailors representing 24 I-LYA clubs – one of the larg- est in the history of Junior Bay. Dr. Dan was a driving force behind the change to the Club 420 as the doublehanded boat and the as the single- handed boat for Junior Bay Week and the I-LYA Traveler Series - following the rest of the nation at the time and helping to elevate the level of competi- tion for Lake Erie area junior sailors. The van Heeckeren Family Trophy is awarded annually to the winner of the Laser Radial Class at the I-LYA Junior Championships. He was a mentor to many of the leaders of I-LYA who followed him and shared his love of the sport of sailing and racing on Lake Erie with friends and family throughout his life. Even throughout his battle with Parkinson’s disease, Dan remained as active in I-LYA as possible. Dr. Daniel W. van Heeckeren passed away on June 9, 2020 in Shaker Heights, Ohio.

Celebrating the Past — Shaping the Future Trustees of the Fund The Yachtsmen’s Fund, an IRS-recognized 501(c)3 charitable organization, (Year Term Ends) believes that our young sailors and power boaters are the future of our sport. President It is imperative that we do all we can to support their education, growth, Com. Steve Harris, BLYC (2021) development, and love of sailing and powerboating. In 2019, to broaden our Vice-President impact, the Fund began providing Training Grants to encourage and support Monica Bloomstine, EYC (2024) certification for instructors and race management throughout I-LYA. We did Vice-President this while maintaining our traditional programs: supporting Junior Bay Week Matt Dubois, GIYC (2027) and Junior Power; awarding of scholarships to qualifying I-LYA junior sailors Vice-President and power-boaters; and providing Championship and Challenge Team grants Edwin Theisen, DYC (2027) to junior sailors who represent I-LYA.

Inter-Lake Yachting Association 2020 35 36 Inter-Lake Yachting Association 2020 65th I-LYA Junior Sail Regatta at Put-in-Bay

2020 Junior Sailing Championship Cancelled After many discussions and meetings with program directors, the I-LYA Junior Council, I-LYA Flag Officers and Trustees made the hard decision to suspend the 2020 I-LYA Junior Sailing Championship for the 2020 season. This difficult decision was made early in May 2020 and was primarily focused on the safety of the participants due to the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. Suspending the event early in the season allowed individual junior programs to plan and adjust their schedules for a shortened and/or aborted season.

The Chubb U.S. Junior Championship, U.S. Sailing’s National Championship for junior sailors aged 13-18, was held in 2019 in Redwood City, CA at the Peninsula Youth Sailing Foundation. Nine I-LYA juniors qualified to com- pete based on their finishes at the Area E Championships which were held at Edgewater Yacht Club in early July. Five of the nine applied for and received Yachtsmen’s Fund Championship Grants to help offset the expense involved with travel and participation while representing I-LYA. Spencer Barnes and Will Carroll, both from Cleveland Yachting Club, com- peted for the Smythe Trophy in the Laser Radial fleet. This was Spencer’s sec- ond trip to Nationals, having finished 17th in 2018. The experience certainly paid off. According to Spencer, “The sailing conditions (on San Francisco Bay) are just as good as they talked about. Up until the last day of the competition, CYC sailor Spencer Barnes finished th4 winds, waves, and tides were absolutely ‘blowin the hats off the gumbies.’ On overall in the Laser Radial fleet at Chubb the last day, the conditions backed off and matched a more familiar pattern Nationals in San Francisco in 2019. to me. I managed to secure a 1st and 4th allowing me to move up in the stand- ings to finish th4 /20.” Spencer, who won the Radial fleet at Junior Bay Week in 2018 switched things up in 2019 and sailed and won the C420 fleet with crew John Wynne. He also branched out into Thistles, VX One, and the J105 and is very appreciative of the skippers who let him “climb aboard and compete with them.” Some of the doublehanded competitors also benefitted from past experi- ence. C420 skipper and Edgewater Yacht Club sailor Jack Vanderhorst who sailed a Lightning in 2018 returned in 2019 with his regular “Double Dutch” crew Daniel van Heeckeren to compete for the Bemis Trophy and finished 11th out of 20 boats. The Grosse Point Yacht Club team of Michael Kirkman and Zach Rockwell improved on their 10th place 2018 performance by finishing strong in 3d place.

While they did not finish where they had hoped, they learned a lot and met many excellent junior sailors from around the country. The U.S. Junior Women’s Doublehanded and Singlehanded Championships were also held in in 2019. Sara and Annie Schumann, rep- resenting Cowan Lake Sailing Association, Nadia Reynolds from Hoover Sailing Club and the Grosse Point Yacht Club team of Anna Carron and Eva Paschke competed for the Ida Lewis Trophy in San Diego in July.

54 Inter-Lake Yachting Association 2020 JAM Boat of the Year

Our Mystery Dance team is excited to be the 2019 I-LYA JAM Boat of the Year. Sailing at Bay Week has been a goal since we launched in 2012. Bay Week has been part of our sailing world since we were children dragged up by parents in the 60s. While we spend most of the summer sailing in Sandusky Bay at Sandusky Sailing Club, getting to sail among the Bass Islands and enjoy Put-in-Bay last summer was better than we could have dreamed. Thanks to our shore team of Amy Huston, Mary Jane Hahler, and Bob Gardner, Mystery Dance enjoyed the chance to sail in our first Bay Week together.

Inter-Lake Yachting Association 2020 61 I-LYA Junior Power Regatta at Put-in-Bay

Junior Power Contests These Junior Regatta contests are designed to reinforce the safe boating practices and rules of the road learned in the classroom. The contests and seminars use a hands-on approach and provide the juniors with the confi- dence to operate motorized vessels. The vessels used at the regatta are inflata- bles donated by senior participants of the power regatta. For additional infor- mation about the Junior Power Program please visit the I-LYA web-site. General Knowledge and Seamanship Friday’s safe boating seminar provides each junior with a refresher course on safety requirements, rules of the road, understanding of buoys and their identi- fying characteristics, hand held GPS and electronic chart instruction, and much more. Juniors will be asked to demonstrate knot tying, line throwing, and how to properly secure a vessel. A written exam, testing each junior on his or her general knowledge of the above concludes this contest. Charting and Course Plotting The safe boating seminar also covers charting and course plotting. Hands-on activities teach the juniors how to read charts, determine their position and plot a course. At the end of the seminar, each junior will be tested on their understanding of the above. Navigation Competition This is a shore-based contest that will require juniors to pair up and take a short walk or bike ride around the Island. They will be asked to take bearings, make observations and determine their position using hand held GPS as they make their way around the Island. Bikes will be provided if necessary. Weather Contest Each junior will be asked to forecast the weather for a prescribed time and place. The forecast will include temperature, wind direction and velocity, baro- metric pressure, sky conditions, precipitation, and relative humidity. Prediction forms will be provided and must be submitted by a set deadline. A committee shall assemble at the prescribed place and time to observe and record the actual weather conditions and determine the winners of this contest. On-the-Water (Four contests using inflatables) “Course A” Boat Handling Contest “Course A” will demonstrate the steering and boat handling capabilities of each junior. The junior, accompanied by an assigned adult, will run a 3-leg course in both a clockwise and counter-clock- wise direction with the objective of making both runs in the same amount of time. Speed is NOT the objective. “Course B” Compass Reading and Bearings Contest “Course B” will demonstrate a junior’s ability to read a compass and take bearings and identify your posi- tion using hand held GPS. The goal is to steer as carefully as possible between the marks for each of three designated courses set by the committee. At the end of each leg the junior is to record the compass heading steered. An assigned adult will crew on each vessel. Chicane This is a timed test of boat handling and low speed maneuvering. The junior will be timed and judged on his or her ability to successfully maneuver through a prescribed course at no-wake speed in 2 directions without creating a wake and without hitting the marks on the course.

62 Inter-Lake Yachting Association 2020 I-LYA Junior Power Regatta at Put-in-Bay

Docking This contest evaluates the junior’s boat handling and maneuvering skills as related to docking. The junior will be judged on his/her ability to prop- erly maneuver, dock and secure his or her vessel within a predetermined dock space. Hitting the dock and/or high speed operations will result in loss of points. Social Competitions In addtion to the bragging rights earned by making a hole-in-one during Jr. Putt-Putt or Jr. East trouncing Jr. West (or vice-versa) in volleyball, Junior Power Regatta participants also enjoy the following contests: Geo-Quest Based on Geo-caching, Geo-Quest is a live treasure hunt utilizing compass and GPS skills. Junior teams will explore the island via adult-driven golf carts and locate hidden “treasures.” Cardboard Boat Race Who doesn’t love making stuff with duct tape? Juniors combine their engi- neering skills with construction and boating knowlege. Entrants must be 12–17, pre-assembly is allowed, each boat to be designed for 1 or 2 people. Awards given to place finishers and a “Spirit Award” given to the team showing greatest Team Spirit and “The Titanic Award” to the boat that sinks in spectacular fashion. Bring your own cardboard and tape. NO materials will be provided by the committee. Fishing Derby The “Fishing Derby” is designed for all juniors participating in the regatta. Come one, come all and see who catches the largest, the most and the smallest fish. The committee will be available to bait your hooks and will supply the bait as well as snacks for the anglers. Bring your pole and your life jacket and arrive 15 minutes before start time so you will be ready to drop your hook. Prizes will be awarded immediately after the finish time. So don’t be late and good luck! Awards Ribbons: are given to each winner of the four On-the-Water contests, the Weather contest, and the land/shore based Navigation competition. 1st, 2d or 3d place ribbon awards are provided depending upon participation. Junior Skipper Award and Trophy: is given to the individual having the highest total combined score for all On-the-Water contests and the Weather contest. Scholarships: 1st, 2d & 3d place monetary scholarship awards are given to the eligible juniors with the highest overall score for all competitions. 1. Only those juniors who are members of a boat club affiliated with I-LYA will be eligible to receive scholarship awards. 2. Scholarships are based on final results from 2 days of competitions at the annual I-LYA Regatta. • General knowledge and seamanship • Charting and course plotting • Navigation competition • On-the-Water “Course A” Boat Handling “Course B” Compass Reading and Bearings Chicane: boat handling and low speed operations Docking contest: maneuvering and docking

Inter-Lake Yachting Association 2020 71 I-LYA Power Regatta at Put-in-Bay

Power Contests Commodore’s Trophy Competition for the Commodore’s Trophy is based upon a combination of seamanship, boat handling and overall knowledge of boating. Four events have been selected by the committee which provide all of these skills. To compete you must enter all four (4) contests. Entry forms are available at the Registrars desk and must be completed and on file to compete. A percentage has been given to each event to determine the overall winner of the Commodore’s Trophy. A flag and pin will be presented to the winner and the winner's name will be placed on the Commodore’s Trophy which is awarded at the I-LYA Fall Banquet each year. This trophy is an individual award and will be awarded to an individual competing in the various events NOT to a competing team. Commodore’s Trophy contests include: Predicted Log & Navigation (30%), Docking (25%), Chicane (25%) and Weather Forecasting (20%). Predicted Log The Predicted Log is a boat handling contest. A contestant’s knowledge of their boat’s performance and good navigation skills are necessary. A predeter- mined course is designed around a set of control points; which include buoys, markers, and landmarks, which must be passed on the port or starboard side of the boat, as designated. A contestant’s calculation of his/her predicted log requires the contestant to plot the designated course on his/her own chart and predict the elapsed time, in minutes and seconds, that he/she will pass each control point. Contestants must run the course at their chosen speed, higher than six knots; their prediction should be based on their chosen speed. The use of GPS is allowed when running the course. However the use of auto-pilot during the contest is strictly prohibited. Contestants should know their boat’s compass deviation, as most control points are not visible from the start of a leg. The Predicted Log committee will assign an impartial observer to accompany the contestant during the run. Each contestant is asked to bring at least one observer, who will be assigned to another contestant’s boat. A short training class will be held for observers before the start of the contest. Each contestant must furnish two watches able to read in hours, minutes and seconds. 2020 Greeley Trophy Start Buoy R “2” Fl R 4s, PIB Harbor Entrance Leave to Port Steer a course at 250 degrees T for 2.60 NM (2.99 SM).
