Main Sheet – June 30, 2025

Sailing season is underway, and the Star Fleet is doing something different this year. While we have a storied history of being the largest fresh water fleet in the world for over 40 years with very accomplished sailors, times change. In an effort to bring more fun and allow more people to participate, we are doing some multi-class fun races!

The Star can be challenging to sail, but you don't have to be skilled to enjoy the boat. I am one of two female skippers currently in our fleet, and we have a few female crews. The Lake Sunapee Star Fleet has had some amazing female sailors over the years and I am proud that we carry on that tradition. As the Fleet Captain—and someone who is consistently at the back of the fleet—I encourage you to come watch our races on the weekends, volunteer to help on the Race Committee, or reach out to [email protected] to go out and try a Star.

The results of our first race are below. Check the Yacht Club news for the schedule of races. We’d love to see you out there as a spectator, volunteer or sailor!

Boats & Beacons Recap

The 2025 Lake Sunapee Star Fleet racing season got off to an exciting start on Saturday, June 28, with our first-ever Boats and Beacons Fixed Mark Challenge. Despite gray skies and occasional mist, three Star boats, three Vipers, and Peter Buros on his Rhodes 19 turned out for a lively afternoon of racing on Lake Sunapee.

Competing in the inaugural event in Stars:

• Blake Baade with sons Harrison and Auggie (#7497)
• Jim Lyons (#1667)
• Mike Kelly with grandson Connor and daughter Erin (#8215)

Viper participants:

• Mike and Tucker Deyett
• Duane Delfosse, Andrew Godfrey, Dan Bruzga
• Brad and James Nichol, Taylor Beck

Racing got underway at 12:37 with a clean start. The Baade family jumped out to an early lead, trailed by Kelly’s team and Lyons close behind. After a short leg, the fleet turned north up the lake to the first mark off the Sandbar. Order at the mark:

1. #7497 (Baade)
2. #8215 (Kelly)
3. #1667 (Lyons)

Kelly’s team caught a favorable puff, taking the lead and holding it through the finish:

1. Mike Kelly and family (#8215)
2. Blake Baade and sons (#7497)
3. Jim Lyons (#1667)

The Vipers finished to the sound of thunder, but thankfully no lightning!

Thanks to the Race Committee: Lovelynn Ivey, David Ivey, and Ted Citron—we couldn’t have done it without you!

From Star Fleet Captain Michéle Wood:

The Star Fleet Season is underway! In June, U.S. Sailing did a Race Official training with 15 participants, ranging from brand new to seasoned competitors. Every single person learned something from this seminar. No one knows it all, so if you are interested in Race Committee and don’t think you know enough, that is false. There will always be someone who not only knows enough to run the race but will be very willing to help you out. It’s the best way there is to watch the race and learn about it.

We can’t run our races without the great group of volunteers that we have, so thank you to those that have volunteered and try it out to those that haven’t yet (sign up here). And a special thank you to Duane Delfosse, Jane Wirch, Jim Kelly, Ted Cetron, and the other fantastic RC participants this weekend!

This week’s Star Fleet report will not be containing detailed race results. Those are posted on our notice board at the top of the stairs coming into the club and also on the Sail Scores website here. Instead, I wanted to show the less competitive side of the fleet. While winning is fun, it’s not the only thing.

Before a single boat was in the water, sailors were in the hoist area, getting ready, helping each other and sharing tools, tips, ideas and expertise. As boats went in the water, sailors were pushing trailers or running the hoist for whomever needed it, not just taking care of their own boats.

We had some exciting combinations out on the course on Saturday. We had three married couples out on the lake and after the racing, they were still speaking to each other! Lovelynn Ivey crewed for husband Andy Ivey, Michael Wood crewed for wife Michele Wood and Gordon Colby crewed for wife Lili Colby. Not only that, but it was Gordon and Lili’s first time in a Star. Even more wonderful, Lili is another female skipper. Female skippers are not common, but our fleet now has two! We also have another female crew, Erin Kelly. She usually crews for her father, Mike Kelly, but she was a motor boat spectator this weekend. If you want to get out in a Star, do it!

Also sailing this weekend: Dag Lidbeck with John Wulff crewing, Nat Cook had Cam Kent Saturday and Andrew Blagdon on Sunday, Andy Ivey took David Hutchinson out for his first time in a Star on Sunday, and Paul Skarin crewed for Mike Kelly. Both days, boats would pick their direction and sail one side off the course, but always met up at the mark. As boats rounded, encouragement was offered between competitors and after each race, the winner was congratulated. Mike Kelly/Paul Skarin won the 4th of July Series, but multiple different competitors finished at the top of a race – it was a great mix!

We have our Steak Dinner August 2nd, where visiting sailors, including a Star World Champion, compete in our Lake Sunapee Open. Go out and watch the race, then have dinner and chat with some amazing sailors.

although the wind was shifty.
There were five Stars on the line – Andy Ivey with crew Dave Hutchinson, Mike Kelly with
crew Paul Skarin, Michéle Wood with crew Mike Wood, Lili Colby with crew Gordon Colby,
and Tim Mallette with crew Jim Kelly. The second weekend of the July series races will be July

This past weekend was the Compass Cup, the second of three Sail Sunapee Challenge days. The shifty wind forced a change from the original race course, and so instead of sailing around the lake close to shore, we kept to the middle. It was a very fun gathering with ten boats, six of which were Stars, two were Sonars, one was a J22 and one was a Rhodes 19.

There was some significant shifting around amongst the sailboats for the first triangle of the race, but after the second leg into the third, sailors were more or less locked into their positions. Tim Seeling with Gordon Colby as his crew won the day, with Mike Kelly/Erin Kelly second, and Blake Baade with sons August and Harrison Baade in third. Michéle Wood/Mike Wood, Tim Mallette/Jim Kelly, Jim Lyons/Carolyn Leonard, Ian Londgren/Betsy Cetron/Ellie Londgren/Melody Londgren, Tim Eliason, Leo Cloutier/Jim Freeman, and Peter Buros/Mark Friedman made up the rest of the field. Lots of friendly banter and waves between the competitors throughout the day!

Mike and Erin Kelly are currently in the lead for the Sail Sunapee Challenge, with Blake, August, and Harrison Baade in second. The last race of the Challenge will be Saturday, August 9th with the Race Around the Islands organized by the Cruising Fleet.

The Sunapee Open will be August 2nd and 3rd , where visiting and local sailors will compete - including a Star World Champion. Go out and watch the race, then come to the famous Steak Dinner and chat with some amazing sailors.

This past weekend, we had a Race Committee ready and willing. We had boats ready to sail.
The only thing missing? The wind. Unfortunately, while no one enjoys standing on the terrace staring out onto flat water, this happens and no one can predict it. this happens and no one can predict it. There was a hint of breeze out in the middle of the lake for a few minutes here and there, but no way for the Star Fleet to sail out to the wind. At least there was lots of chatting and camaraderie in the parking lot.

This year, we started a new series where anyone with a sailboat can join called the Sail Sunapee Challenge. In June we had the Boats and Beacons race, then in July we had the Compass Cup. On August 9th, we will be sailing Around the Islands. Come join in the fun!

We have had our July 4th Series and the first weekend of our July Series racing; unfortunately, the second day of racing for our July Series was cancelled due to no wind. We had 6 boats sail for the July 4th series and 5 boats in the July series. We are pleased to have some new boats in the fleet.

This weekend is the Lake Sunapee Open, which was first run in 1965. It has not been sailed every year, because, well, wind doesn’t always happen. However, for a regatta to still happen 60 years later, one that is run solely by volunteers, is a testament to the members of our Fleet and the Lake Sunapee Yacht Club. Club members offer housing, take people out in spectator boats and come have dinner with the visiting sailors. The Cook Award is a perpetual award, engraved with the names of the winners of the Lake Sunapee Open. It was donated by the Cook family, who have been the heart and soul of the Star Fleet for over 50 years.

Keep the Sue Williamson-Joe Goodnough Fleet Picnic on your calendars for Labor Day. Both Sue and Joe were very active members of the Star Fleet and we honor their volunteerism by holding this picnic in their memory. Did you know that the Leading Lady in the Lake Sunapee Open is also awarded the Sue Williamson Award? It is a perpetual trophy Joe donated in memory of his wife, Sue. Have lunch then stick around for our year end awards. The cost is $15 and information to reserve will be coming soon.

Stop by the trophy case and look at the trophies. There is so much tradition and history there. Speaking of tradition, awarding the Fleet Championship trophies at the Commodore’s Cocktail Party will be reinstated this year. Come check out the trophies and read the names engraved along with the years. Then go into the bar and look at the plaques along the wall over the doors to the bar porch. Again, tradition and history abound.

As always, check out our notice board at the top of the stairs as you enter the Club. Feel free to wander into the hoist area late morning on a Saturday to chat with sailors. Volunteer for Race Committee…no experience necessary, but it’s the best way to learn about racing. Email [email protected] and we can get you out in a boat!

What a weekend of sailing we had for the Next Gen and Lake Sunapee Open! Wind on Sunapee can be tricky but we were able to complete both regattas.

We had 9 boats sailing in our Next Gen Star regatta. This is for sailors under the age of 25. Kennie Shea of LSYC was first, Kendall Cross of LSYC was second and Kelson Shea was third. Thank you to the adults who crewed for these aspiring Star skippers. It couldn’t be done without you. The Lake Sunapee Star Fleet has a history of women sailors and it was great seeing the Junior girls, as well as the boys, getting out there and showing their stuff!

Saturday marked the 60th year of the Lake Sunapee Open. It couldn’t happen without the numerous volunteers who assist with running the regatta and Race Committee. We couldn’t do it without the LSYC members who host visiting sailors and provide spectator boats for watching the races. Thank you to all.

David Cook and Skip Nolin, who sailed in the first Open in 1965 were honored at the Steak dinner. Descendants of the inaugural Sunapee Open sailors were mentioned. The list was quite long, including spouses who may or may not have realized the “I do” also meant “I do plan on sailing a Star” and going down to great grandchildren. What a legacy our Star Fleet has to have that passion for Star sailing passed on through generations. At that first open, there were father/daughter pairs, husband/wife pairs, in-law pairs and sibling pairs. We currently have father/daughter and husband/wife pairs out on the course every weekend.

The wind was a bit challenging at times, but we were able to sail all 5 races that were scheduled. Thank you to our dedicated Race Committee that set courses, moved marks, and delayed starts, yet persevered to make sure that each race was the best it could be. This year’s Lake Sunapee Open was won by LSSF’s Andy Ivey, skipper and Reid Krakower, Steve Braverman and RonRezac  of Boston Harbor were second, and John MacCausland (Cooper River YC) and LSSF’s Brad Nichol were third.
Please keep checking our notice board at the top of the stairs for race results and upcoming events.

Mark your calendars for the Sue Williamson/Joe Goodnough Memorial picnic on Labor Day. The cost is $15 for non-Fleet members and it’s always a good time.

As always, feel free to come watch the races. Want to learn more? Volunteer for Race
Committee; it’s a front row seat to watch and learn about racing. Want to try Star sailing? Email [email protected] and it can be arranged.

Have a great day, go where the wind takes you and see you out on the water!

This past Saturday was a beautiful day; sunny and hot, the perfect day to lay on the dock, go swimming, or perhaps do some jetskiing. With no wind, however, it was not a beautiful day to sail. The Around the Island race, set to be the Star Fleet and Cruising Fleet combined, unfortunately had to be called off on account of that lack of wind.

The Stars sail again this upcoming Saturday, August 16th, with the August Series. It will be 4 races starting at 12:30 – come out on the water to watch or even hang out on the terrace and you should be able to see some of the excitement!

The following weekend is the Multi-Class Regatta, should be a super cool weekend with boats of a few different types, including Stars, Flying Scots, and Lasers (among others!). The registration link is here: 2025 Flying Scot, Star, Laser Multi-Class Regatta - YachtScoring.com.

After that, we have the Labor Day series and mark your calendars for the Sue Williamson/Joe Goodnough Memorial picnic on Labor Day. The cost is $15 for non-Fleet members and it’s always a good time.

Two Saturdays in a row that were sunny, hot, beautiful beach days, and yet not enough wind to sail! This does happen on Lake Sunapee in August, although we wish we could’ve gotten out there. Luckily, our Star Fleet Annual Meeting didn’t rely on wind to occur, and we were able to complete a number of business items. Congratulations to our new officers, and thank you tothose who have worked so hard and are departing!

The summer is wrapping up, some kids are already back to school, and we are almost done sailing for the season. However, before we are, the Stars will have our Labor Day Series, sailing on Saturday and Sunday. Let’s hope the wind is as plentiful as this past weekend!

Speaking of the wind this past weekend, it was quite the Multi-Class Regatta! Contrary to the last couple of weeks with little to no wind, the breeze was out in full force for both days. In fact, there was even some capsizing due to the wind and the waves – never a dull moment out there. Chris Danilek won the Flying Scot competition while Mike Kelly and Harry Seidel of LSYC also competed. David Frazier was the winning Laser, with Nat Cook, Adrian Viteri, and Jim Kelly of LSYC also sailing.

Mark your calendars for the Sue Williamson/Joe Goodnough Memorial picnic on Labor Day. The cost is $15 for non-Fleet members ($10 for kids under 10) and it’s always a good time.

Please see the flyer in this week’s LSYC news, and RSVP to [email protected] if you’re able to join us! In addition to the food and festivities, awards for the Star Fleet will be given out.
