2001 Clark Lake Invitational Regatta
Clark Lake, Michigan
September 22-23, 2001

      Ray Steely won the Sunfish Class division of this multi class regatta that had 40 sailboats participate. Many crew members from the other classes visited with the Sunfish sailors after the Saturday races and many of them had an old Sunfish or were interested in obtaining one.  There was a lot of interest in how the modern Sunfish is rigged. The racing was in light wind with a lot of blue sky.  There were a lot of lead changes among the Sunfish class, but Ray Steely made his move at the right time.

Sunfish racers represented 5 fleets from the Midwest.
