Thirty seven sailors from 10 area lakes participated in the 18th annual North Lake MC Fall Classic Regatta over the weekend. Dan Fink from Little Muskego Lake won the first race in moderate winds. Races 2 and 3 had to be abandoned by PRO Patty Brink because of strong winds and gusts over 25 MPH. Sailing on Sunday morning was glorious despite dire weather predictions of high winds and thunderstorms. Peter Toumanoff from Pewaukee Lake aced Race 4 and Bill Biersach came on strong to win Race 5.

Dan Fink presented himself with the new Dan Fink MC Fall Classic traveling trophy. Dan generously donated the trophy this year which included an inscription of all past winners. Thanks Dan!

The new North Lake clubhouse was not completed in time for the regatta, but the porch was able to be used for shelter and a place for lunch. Lori Schneider and Lynda Vander Broek again provided outstanding food and beverages. Next year the building will definitely be completed!
