News and Upcoming Events
The Pine Lake E fleet will be sailing Sunday afternoons in 2010 instead of Saturdays. By not conflicting with the Pewaukee E fleet schedule we hope to have more access to crew members. Augie Barkow plans to join our fleet this year sailing X-44.
Dick Casper was recently inducted into the ILYA Bilge Puller Hall of Fame. The inscription on the award reads as follows. "One of the original members of the Bilge Pullers, Casper was elected Admiral and served from 1965-66. At Pine Lake, he was both a class E champion and Commodore. At the end of his competitive career, Casper was a regular race management volunteer. As an ILYA Director, Casper began his service in 1974, and was elected ILYA Secretary in 1977. In 2002, Casper created the ILYA Hall of Fame, which has become the association’s most meaningful recognition."
