Bayfield Race Week and Around-the-Islands

Attached is a summary of ATI and Race Week posted in WYC Weather Mark Newsletter by Charlie Schroeder (Team Chase).   Thank you to all that attended the events.  We hope you had a great time and we look forward to seeing you next year.   Please note the links at the bottom for links to results and Kattak race reviews.

Bayfield Race Week 2014 showed great growth, with 48 registered boats, up from 39 last year and the best in a long time. Boats travelled from Thunder Bay, Duluth and Houghton, as well as strong local participation.

The Mid Distance and the new Jib and Main class were popular due to fewer crew requirements, more interesting courses, one race per day, and good competition.  Here’s a breakdown of the fleets:

*	Buoy Fleet: 10 boats
*	Mid-Distance A and B Fleets: 12 boats each
*	Mid-Distance C Fleet: 10 boats
*	New Jib and Main Fleet: 4 boats

Racing on Monday was cancelled due to strong winds, over 40 knots at the dock! The wind died steadily over the week but recovered nicely on Friday with steady 10-13 knots.

The Around the Islands Race included 30+ knot winds, driving rain, and calm, as well as the usual, agonizing decision: stay close to the islands at the Outer Island versus go outside. The outside option paid off better! The first boats finished about midnight, with the remainder coming in until about 5:00 AM.

Team Angisina was awarded the Spirit of the Apostles for representing great spirit in racing and a never- give- up attitude. Our own Andy Spence-Parsons gave a terrific tribute to his crew, the assistance of Dave West and the community of Bayfield. 

The event was well-supported by area businesses, with over 35 sponsors contributing daily trophies and social support! This sense of community pervades the event, with iconic, longstanding evening events like whitefish livers eating and quarter horse racing competition adding to the scene!
