is for the regatta is Yacht Club with the Best finishes. The
Wayzata Yacht club has one this trophy several times in the past but
we would like to do it again this year! The more WYC boats coming to
race the better chance we have of this.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

high and the lake has a sandy bottom, so no need to worry about the
keel. They will also have a crane out available. Also WYC is
offering free use of our crane for any boat entering the
regatta.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
