<div><STRONG>CHAMPIONSHIP OF CHAMPIONS</STRONG></div>
<div>Tonight, Wednesday, in a matter of hours, beginning at 6:15, near Lighthouse Island, the greatest sailors on the lake, the world maybe, certainly the greatest sailors in their own imaginations, will head out in Club 420's to determine the greatest sailor in the known universe, that being Lake Minnetonka. The Sonar, Capri 25, J24, and J22 fleets will be representing WYC. I encourage you to grab a boat, put the putt-putt on the stern an motor out to watch the races. Afterwards, stop at Lighthouse Island for a nice dinner with your friends. The wind is honking tonight so it's going to be a great night of racing. GO WYC!!</div>
