The ILYA Championships were hosted by the Green Lake
Yacht Club. It is a beautiful lake and a great resort
community. Bill MacNeil, the regatta chairperson,
organized a team of dedicated volunteers to make this a
memorable event.
I will have to say the winds were some of the most
consistent I have ever seen at a regatta but certainly
not very predictable on the course. There were 7 races
and all the courses over the three days of racing were
about a 210-220 degree heading with the winds 8-15 mph.
All the courses were windward leeward two and half times
around. On the course the shifts were big and the puffs
significant, and not very easy to read or get to them on
time when you did see them.
Tom Burton, and his long time crew of Bruce Martinson,
Andy Ferguson, and Martha Morgan, sailed an amazingly
consistent regatta with only 24 points counting all
seven races. Given the conditions and the
competition at this years championship, they are truly
deserving champions.
Since there isn't much I can add to the excellent ILYA
reporting, I thought I would provide a different look at
the races and results.
Below is a chart of the seven races providing the times
of the mark roundings, the length of time each leg took
the leaders, and the total time of the races.

WHAT IF:
I thought it might be fun to see how the regatta results
would have looked if all the races ended after the first
mark rounding. I didn't have the first mark rounding
results for race #3. Below are the
First Mark
Rounding Results for Six Races of the Regatta.
Some are glad we sailed races two and a half times
around, especially Tom Burton who would have ended up
4th overall if we ended the racing after the first mark
rounding. So would have Will Graves, Jim Gluek, Lon
Schoor, Art Brereton, Rob Evans, and Harrison Burton.
Others would have been happy to end the race after the
first mark, and most notably Brian Porter, who would
have won the event instead of placing third. The rest of
the group that would have benefited from a one leg race
are: Sam Rogers, Peter Strothman, Chad Olness, Peter
Maas, Matt Peterson, Eric Good, and David Chute.
Clearly Brian Porter and Augie Barkow showed the
greatest achievement on the first leg - more than 20
points better than the third place boat. The next group
of seven were also very strong on the all important
first leg of the race - Sam Rogers, Tom Burton, Vincent
Porter, Kevin Jewett, Will Graves, Eric Bowers, and
Peter Strothman - then there was a 24 point gap to the
10th place boat.
More than half the fleet would have finished within a
couple of places of their actual regatta standing if the
racing ended after the first mark.
Rob Evan passed the most boats for the 6 races I have
data for - he passed 54 boats after the first mark
rounding. H-7 passed 43 boats and Tom Burton passed the
most important number of boats at 27! Whenever there is
good news there is also some bad news and these skippers
lost a number of boats after the first mark rounding -
Sam Rogers lost 27 boats but all that was on a tip-over
in the first race, Brian Porter lost the most important
14 boats because it cost him a victory.
The results also show their actual regatta finish in the
last column on the right.
