<DIV><FONT size=2>Just a reminder that Yngling World Champion Sally Barkow will

International Women's Keelboat Championship. This is a big deal! If
you have interest in this event, please contact Jennifer Child at 612-616-0804
or </FONT><A href="mailto:childjennifer@hotmail.com"><FONT

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>CHAMPIONSHIP OF CHAMPIONS</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial>It was a huge success last year, this year
it's going to be a mega success. Wednesday August 24th at 6pm @ the "other YC".
Put the putt-putt on the keelboat and motor over to Lighthouse Island
where we will watch the best of the best battle it out for bragging rights
between WYC and MYC. Last year we</FONT><FONT face=Arial> won by claiming
ownership of J.D. representing the J24 fleet, but it was tight racing with Blake
Middleton coming in second representing Lake Minnetonka power boaters and
a bunch of scow folks close behind. All you have to do is motor
over, enjoy yourself while watching, try to control the hooligan trash talking,
and then dock your boat at MYC Lighthouse Island for the grill and chill dinner
(a reasonable cost for and excellent dinner) and awards banquet after the
racing. </FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT><BR><FONT size=2>S2 7.9 NATIONALS<BR>The S2 fleet is
sending something like eight boats to Racine WI for the S2 7.9 National
Championships next weekend. Excellent turn out! Now bring us home some
hardware to show off in the clubhouse. Details at </FONT><A

<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial>BANQUET VOLUNTEERS<BR>Yes, the banquet
is not that far away. Helping out with the banquet is actually lots of
fun, especially since it doesn't conflict with sailing. So Call Merry Beth
and ask her what's up and where you can help. </FONT><FONT
face=Arial>Yes, you can earn some participation points, but you also might get
to attend the taste testing for desserts or get back stage passes to hang with
the band. <A href="mailto:MBhovey@yahoo.com">MBhovey@yahoo.com</A>

<DIV><FONT size=2>It's a little late to gain ALL the benefits of being a PAID
crew member of WYC, but it's not too late to get that warm and fuzzy feeling of
being a member instead of a hang-along. We welcome guests at WYC, but being
a guest means you have a freshness date. <U>You know who you are, and so do
we!</U> Next time you're at the keg pouring yourself a guest freebie,
look around...we're watching. In the next issue I'm naming names, so act
now. Visit </FONT><A href="http://www.wyc.org/about.htm"><FONT

Lake Regatta is coming up on August 20-22. This regatta has been around for a

all. So get up there and earn yourself some bragging rights. Web site address
