LHYC
currently has MC and M16 fleets racing
on the lake in club races. The MC has proven to be a very popular
boat and LHYC has one of the largest fleets of MCs in the area.
The M16 fleet, while not as large, has been a mainstay on the
lake for many years. The club also sponsors Spring and Fall Regattas
and invites and hosts races for C boats, X boats, and, on occasion
- Lasers, in addition to MCs and M16s. LHYC has established a
youth program with Optimist class boats and has
been pleased to host the Twin Cities Youth Sailing Regatta for
Optis. If you would like more information about the club's MC
fleet contact Grant Hutchins, MC Fleet Captain at 612-374-2425.
For information on the M16 fleet, contact Jack Zimmerschied, M16
Fleet Captain at 612-927-0785. For information on the youth
sailing program contact Bill Kirkpatrick at 612-922-6511.

M16 is a 16 foot sloop (single mast with mainsail and jib) that
is also ILYA sanctioned and National Class. It is perfect for 2
moderately sized people to race or pleasure sail. This might include
combinations of husband and wife, parent and child, brothers and
sisters, and graduates from the junior racing programs-as well as
other adults. The boat has all the sail-handling adjustments of
a modern sloop and a scow hull design that makes her very fast and
lively. |
