June 9, 2020: Due to the current social distancing requirements in the latest Minnesota Governor’s COVID-19 response executive orders, White Bear Yacht Club has notified the Inland Lake Yachting Association (ILYA) that we will NOT be able to host the 2020 ILYA E Invitational Regatta with the quality of sailing this fleet deserves, or the fleet size we’ve grown to expect. Most importantly, we would not be able to host this regatta while following the existing laws of the State of Minnesota. We are sorry to have to make this difficult decision, and hope we can enjoy sailing later in the summer.
We will submit a bid for the 2023 ILYA E Invitational with support and encouragement from the NCESA, as they celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the E Scow.
