Welcome to the 2021 Dorn MC Regatta. After a year of only homelake participants due to Covid, Lake Beulah is happy to welcome back all our regulars. This will be the first year with new chairpersons. Mitzy, Kathy and Hardy are moving into retirement but not before leaving the club the menu for the Saturday Night Dinner. They have also agreed to chair that dinner to welcome all their friends. It has always been an intimate dinner so return with your spouse for some Beulah hospitality. 

New this year - MCSA is sponsoring a FREE clinic with regatta registration. This clinic is for sailors of all skill levels. The Friday all-day clinic is an offering from MCSA. It will feature Allan Terhune, recent ILYA MC Champion and North Sails representative. Terhune hails from Annapolis, Maryland. He is a new voice for the Midwest and carries a strong sailing resume in a multitude of classes. Lunch is included with the clinic. For those of you who want a longer day, a Friday night italian dinner will be featured. Housing is available for those from out of state. Contact candaceporter17@gmail.com with a housing request.

To: Member lakes and friends

Lake Beulah Yacht Club has experienced a Covid-19 outbreak due to “extracurricular” activities at the recent ILYA Championships. Those cases are now dissipating with no significant proof of community spread from that event. In response to the Covid outbreak, LBYC cancelled events for 8 days. This included our Commodore’s Ball and Trophy Dinner. The club has taken this seriously.

We are slated to host our annual Dorn Memorial Regatta September 10-12. We have offered to provide the National MC Scow Association with a site to host a clinic on Friday, September 10^th. The committee has met and determined that we feel we can safely provide a quality experience with all meals pre-packaged (but made with love) and seating provided outside – IF THAT IS NECESSARY TO MAINTAIN SAFETY. Like all of you, our schools start today. We will see the impact of that gathering early next week.

What we are asking
LBYC would love to invite you to the Dorn but we need to plan realistically. We are asking that you register soon knowing that the LBYC Board will make a firm decision Tuesday night after reviewing our own internal cases, the Walworth County spread and any other significant factors provided us. LBYC is fortunate this year to have Dr. Randy Schmidt, a fellow MC sailor, as our new Commodore. Randy has led us through our three “outbreaks” in the nearly 18 month stretch.  Please give us an indication of your intent to participate. A full refund will be promptly given if the event needs to be cancelled.

Friday all day
Alan Terhune, 2021 ILYA MC Champion, from Annapolis, Maryland will travel to provide a clinic hosted by MCSA. Lake Beulah will provide a lunch and dinner. The clinic is free with your regatta registration or $25 as a standalone event. The cost to those who register for the regatta will be $15 for the Friday Night Italian casual dinner. It will be an opportunity to unwind with Alan.

Saturday and Sunday
Regular Dorn regatta with pre-packaged light breakfast items and coffee. Lunches will be in to-go containers. The Dorns and Wills will be hosting the Saturday Night Dinner but again in to-go containers which we hope you will enjoy on our front lawn. A portable bar will be stationed outside.

For a new housing approach, consider camping where the tents and campers are rented onsite.  https://www.campkettlewood.com/
