If you hurry, you can make the FIRST ANNUAL WHITEFISH LAKE ONE-LAP INVITATIONAL LASER REGATTA (FAWLOLILR) on beautiful Whitefish Lake (duh) at the foot of the Big Mountain ski resort. The bigger the title, the more serious the event.
No fee, just fun. We bought some inflatable APS buoys, poured some concrete in buckets, borrowed a Whaler for a committee boat, and we're all set. The wind often dies on this pretty little lake before 10, hence the one lap. Sometimes it blows all day.
Triangle course, cow bell for finishing. (horns are just too loud, and we're right in town at 8AM...)
Party afterwards at the city beach and up the hill at the Yot Club (Peter's house). So far we have an amazing 12 boats committed, mostly strangers, I think because we made it goofy and non-serious competition. Once they all meet each other and have fun, we've got them hooked!
And then there's no excuse for them to not sign up for next weekend's Flathead Laser Championship!
