In late June, we hosted the 18th annual Beulah Optimist Dinghy Regatta, an event attended by 52 sailors.  Shortly thereafter, the many of the Opti skippers shifted gears, jumped into X boats, and competed in the Training Regatta at Pine or TRAP.  In early July, the Lake Beulah Yacht Club hosted Class X Quad Lakes Regatta.  This regatta was initiated in 1972 with the addition of Lake Beulah sailors to those from Cedar, Nagawicka, and Pine.  While these three lakes have experienced success in this event, so has LBYC.  Beulah sailors have won this Class X regatta fifteen times since 1970 and surprisingly, in each of the past six consecutive summers.  Local lake experience paid off again in 2010 as Charlie Kutschenreuter and Alex Keck won the regatta, making them the seventh consecutive champion crews from Lake Beulah:

Pine Lake hosted the annual Training Regatta at Pine (TRAP) from June 29 to July 1. In the Senior Fleet, six races were completed.  From Lake Beulah, Gabrielle Bui and her crew Mary Berg were the top LBSS finishers in 11th place.  Their top race finishes were two seconds.  Girls ruled the waters as four female skippers placed in the top five.  Forty two boats competed in the event of which four represented Lake Beulah.  For final results, click here .

In the Junior Fleet, Riley Schmidt and Morgan Keck finished in second place behind Geneva's Mitchell Lee.  Beulah's Charlie Kutschenreuter and Alex Keck won the one race while finishing in third.  Michael & John Barr also won a race, finishing in fourth place overall.  Only three races were completed due to light wind conditions.  Fourty one entries competed of which five were from Lake Beulah.  Other Beulah competitors included Scotty Sullivan & Olivia Healy and Patrick Schmidt & Max Kunz.  For Junior Fleet results, click here .
