It's bowin' twenty on the broad lake, but I expect it will be somewhat less on the bay... and we are tryin' for three! Wish us luck! 

This takes a bit of time to load, but it gives you a good idea of how we managed 100 boats in a small club. Panorama view

Update: Aug 14, 2001
101 boats officially entered in the NAs - Competitor List. We'll be posting daily reports and results. Practice Race sailed on Saturday. Qualifying Races are complete and final series fleets have been determined. They sailed Races 1 & 2 & 3 today. Results are VERY PRELIMINARY! There are a lot of protests in all fleets, so expect changes between now and tomorrow morning!

Regarding fun stuff to do here -
Our entertainment schedule features a welcome reception at both the NAs and the WJM, just following the opening ceremonies and competitors meetings for both events. These two receptions will feature some great Vermont Cheeses and Snack food, as well as a cash bar catered by Rozzi's Lakeshore Tavern.

We'll have two nights of our famous Bove's Lasagna Dinner - (Lots of great food) Wednesday the 8th during the WJM, and Tuesday the 14th during the NAs.

Also on Sunday night (August 12th) We'll be having a pig roast at the club, which will be great!

Wednesday (8/15) after sailing we'll have a "Lightning Trivia" contest at the beer tent complete with prizes.

Also - We'll have complimentary Bagels, Juice, and Coffee each morning during the race days at the club.

On the measurement days our "Welcome Grill" snack bar will be open for business right at the club for lunch - burgers, dogs, chips, and soda will be available for lunch from 11 to 2 during measurement.

We've left you a few free nights as well to sample some of our areas great restaurants. There really are a lot of good ones and you really can't go wrong if you just walk in anywhere. If you'd like to plan ahead, check out the chamber of commerce.

There are also some great bike and walking paths, skateboard park, mountain biking, etc. ask the locals when you get here!

We're looking forward to seeing you all here. Please let us know if there's anything we can do for you!
