The first annual Midwest Junior Championship was sailed on Lake Michigan through the
courtesy of the Lake Bluff Yacht Club, organized by Regatta Chairman Rich Chapman and Race
Committee Chairman Dan Feldman. Four races were sailed in light air and chop over
two days. The competition was fierce. Thanks to Bill and Paula Nordeen for
hosting the Saturday night barbecue, Wind Line Sails for providing the T-shirts, and Lake
Bluff YC members who provided housing. Dan and Rich established this event with the
intention it will be continued annually on a rotating basis amongst Fleets in the Midwest.
Participants thought the all-junior format was a lot of fun and look forward to
