PAGE 6Team Haeger/Provancha(Annie Haeger/Briana Provancha)Team Haeger/Provancha achieved much success duringour first trip to Europe this spring. Competing in three regattasin Spain and France, we were able to put up three top-fives onthe board, medaling at the Princess Sofia Trophy in Palma deMallorca, Spain! During Spring Cup, a training regatta in CapD’Adge France, we had the opportunity to sail against 470 menas the fleet was mixed. Testing our boat speed against the boysrevealed how much progress we still have to make especiallyin big breeze. After five days of racing, we finished top femaleboat and ended up fifth place overall.The final regatta took place in Hyeres, France, a venueknown for its cold weather and gnarly breeze. While we werethere, we were fortunate enough to avoid both! We foughtour way through the entire regatta and had a shot at the bronzegoing into the medal races, where the points are doubled andcannot be thrown out. During the first medal race we foundourselves on the wrong side of a shift, eventually fightingour way back to sixth from ninth at the last leeward mark. Inthe final race the medal was still up for grabs between us, theChinese, and the British. We got a great start and were ableto use our boat speed to lead most of the race. After a greatsecond upwind, battling the Chinese and Austrians, we wereable to hold the lead, crossing the line in first! Though wewere happy to end the regatta with a win, we ended up shy of amedal by only three points.SCOW SLANTSSPRING / SUMMER 2013Campaign Update: Haeger, Bowers, RobleThree ILYA teams are currently using the ILYA Foundation account to service their donations and expenses.

PAGE 8SCOW SLANTSSPRING / SUMMER 2013Race Management Corner#61 June 2013 by Chip MannILYA Race Management off to a great startThe Team TrialsInland Race Management got off to a big start thefirst week in May. Pewaukee YC hosted the USODATeam Trials which had 194 optis registered. Jon Just andPYC asked me to put together a race management teamthat would be directed by PRO Anderson Reggio fromNewport, Rhode Island. Virtually everyone I asked saidyes.The Inland list of Race Committee follows: ToddHaines, Bill Rajki, David Perrigo, John Gutenkunst,Larry Kmiecik, Russ Sobotta, Larry Krause, MarkPrange, Bill Best, Dave Baldus, Candace Porter, EdEckert, Peter Dobrick, Richard Beers, Don Franzene,Dennis Gazzana, Russ Ackley, Nancy Ackley and myself.It was a pleasure working with Anderson.Anderson’s email to us and I quote “Chip and Jon Justworked very hard to put together a fantastic team forthis event who was able to handle every challenge withease. This tricky little lake proved just that and wewere able to impress the crowd by making it all happensmoothly and by doing it with a constant smile. So to allof you, THANK YOU!!! This truly has been one of themost talented groups of people with which I have had thepleasure of working.”PROs are assigned for 2013For 2013 we have a great group of PROs slated torun our ILYA events. See the list below.Care to join us?New race management volunteers are alwaysappreciated. If you are not already on one of these teamsand would like to be, please contact the PRO.Code “P” Starting SignalAt the Winter Inland the fleets discussed using the“P” flag as the preparatory flag instead of the “I” flagwhich the ILYA has traditionally used. The “P” flagallows a dip start. The Club 420 fleet encouraged thechange since most of the high school and collegiatesailing these sailors do use the “P” flag.Our adult fleets expressed a desire to stay with the“I” but gave some discretion to try the “P” at smallerregattas.Classes X and Opti accepted P as an option for theRace Committee. Sailors, please review the rules for “P”so that if we use it you will be ready. Please also refreshyour memory on the “Z” flag. We will probably use the“Z” flag before we use the “Black” flag when we arehaving a hard time getting a fleet started.Can we help your club?I would like to extend an offer to any of the ILYAlakes that would like some race management help.Please feel free to contact me and we will do what wecan to assist you give your local sailors the best racemanagement possible.2013 ILYA Principal Race Officers Don’t forget thatClub 420 Championship June 21-23 Delavan Larry Kmiecikwhen you join orrejoin US SAILING,I-20 Invitational June 21-23 Cedar, Ind.

SPRING / SUMMER 2013 SCOW SLANTS PAGE 25Warning: Classifieds ScamYou may have occasion to use the ILYAScow Slants or the ILYA Web Site (www.ilya.org) to advertise a boat or related equipment.Evidently some scam artists have found theILYA Web site and its classified ad page. Oneof our current advertisers told me he was contactedtwice recently with the scam. I heard asimilar story from two other ILYA membersrecently as well.The scam works something like this(with possible variations): The interestedperson (scammer) supposedly has a friend orbusiness acquaintance who owes him money.That money (more than you are asking for theboat) is sent to you in the form of a cashier’scheck (WHICH IS FAKE!). When you receivethe cashier’s check, you are supposedto deposit it and send a personal check for theoverage amount to the scammer.Here’s how you gettaken: The bank has no ideathat the cashier’s check isfake, so they accept it, andyou send a good check tothe scammer. After a fewdays, the bank finds outthat the cashier’s check was fake, and you areresponsible for it. By then you are out yourgood check, and possibly the boat, if the scammereven bothered to come get it.You have probably read about this type ofscam in your local newspaper. I know it hasbeen written about in the Janesville (Wis.) Gazettea couple of times now.Precautions: Don’t accept or deposit anychecks without having the bank first verify its authenticity.Tell others about this scam, especiallyif they may have items advertised somewhere.Time to get involved inILYA Race Management?We need people at alllevels of experience—including NONE!Call the ILYA;we’ll get you started!(262) 203-7721orScowSlants@aol.comLight Up Your Life!Everybody loves the new ILYA crystal cube championship trophies.

The efforts of each participating lake resulted inthis magnificent quilt won in 2012 by Lake Beulah. Beulahwill return the quilt to Oshkosh—the host of the 2013 Xchamps next July.According to the deed of gift, two weeks prior to eachannual regatta, the quilt will be delivered from the currentILYA Club of Record to the next ILYA X Inland Host Clubfor a repeat of the annual cycle. Regatta attendees are ableto bid for the quilt in the name of their club. Proceeds ofthe bid process go to defray the cost of the host regatta.The announcement of the winning club will be madeat the trophy presentation following the completion of theregatta.

SPRING / SUMMER 2013 SCOW SLANTS PAGE 47ILYA’s newest Member Yacht Club...Welcome Cuba Lake Yacht ClubThanks to the efforts of a Lightning sailor named KarlFahrner, the Cuba Lake Yacht Club was organized in thesummer of 1950 to promote sailboat racing. Four yearslater, the club acquired a sizable lot and built the mainfacilities it uses today: a large, open pavilion, with attachedkitchen, restrooms and shower room; a launching ramp,two electric hoists, and a long pier, with ample room tokeep boats on lifts or to dry sail, and with lawns big enoughfor lots of games and sports. We have recently added astorage facility for small boats, (Optimists, Bics, Lasersand Sunfish), and will have a new wharf in place before thesummer for the use of the junior sailing program.C Scows have been on our lake since the 1930s, andMCs since the 1970s. Thanks to the efforts of many of ourlonger-term members, our club has undergone a renaissanceover the past five years. Our C fleet, which had dwindledfrom a dozen boats in the 1980s to only three or four, hasmore than tripled in size, with eighteen turning out for ourbiggest events, and our MC fleet has become much moreactive. All of this ties directly to the advent of a freshjunior sailing program that began in 2009. We do not havea sailing school: we offer a Pirate Academy, the “Pirates ofthe Cubarrean,” which combines fun activities with the goalof mastering the use of sheets and tillers. Starting with justnine students in 2009, we now have over 40 enrolled, withthe most experienced nearly ready to move into the “adult”fleet.Our most popular weekend of the summer is “teamrace weekend,” during which the C fleet is broken intoseveral three or four boat teams, (depending on the numberof entries). The races are run and scored as a typical teamracing event, with teams structured as best we can to giveeach a relatively good chance of winning. We also requirethat all boats carry one of our junior sailors as a third crewin all of the races. On that Saturday night, we hold our“Pirate’s Ball,” which serves as a fun night out for the entirefamily. On Sunday morning, we have a separate, specialrace (not counted in the team results) in which the juniorsailors take the helm of the C boats. Both the junior raceand the team event have proven to be big hits.Our newly approved ILYA Fleet designator is NY,so when you see it, be assured we are very proud, not justto be the Inland’s newest club member, but to also be itseasternmost C fleet.420 fleet opts for dip start,other youth fleets make it an option, adult fleets say ‘no’Originally proposed by the ILYA Club 420 Class, theoption of using Code Flag “P” as the preparatory signal forILYA classes was discussed by all the fleets. Code Flag “P”allows for what is known as a ‘dip start.’ Yachts which areover the line at the start can simply dip back behind the lineto restart.After the Winter Inland fleet meetings,the adult fleets all reported to theBoard of Directors that they would preferto stay with the ILYA’s traditional Code“I” flag starting procedure, which requiresa premature starter to round an end of theline before restarting — the old ‘round theends’ rule.Club 420 Race Committee teams areinstructed to use Code “P” in all initialstarts. Class X and Opti leaders decided tomake the dip start an option of the RaceCommittee, to be used as appropriatedepending on the number of entrants andother considerations. This will includethe No Tears and Green fleet events in theOpti Class.Should the race committee choose to go to the “Z” flagstart after one or more attempts with code “P”, the ILYAsailing instructions indicate that the round-the-ends rule willapply to re-starters, even thought the I flag will not be flownwith “Z”. This is the traditional procedure that ILYA hasfollowed in the past.
