ICE BOAT CLUBS

4LIYC Honor Roll 

Outstanding contributions to ice boating in the Four Lakes Ice Yacht Club are the guidelines used to determine those inducted to our club's Honor Roll. While over the years many names have been added to the list of the original inductees, they all have one thing in common-their love of ice boating and ice boat competition.

In 1967 eight men were singled out for their contributions to our club. They are Bill Fauerbach, Carl Bernard, Andy Flom, Glen Grosbeck, Frank Tetzlaff, Spence Oswald, OT Havey, and Fritz Jungbluth.

We will continue to share more information about the accomplishments of each Honor Roll member. If you have information about any of the Honor Roll members, please let us know by dropping an email to the webmaster.

From the January 8, 1924 Captial Times:
It isn't very often that Madison or any other city in the state can boast of a world's champion, but in "Andy" Flom, prominent ice boat skipper, Madison has without question the peer of ice boat pilots. Besides holding several smaller cups won in regattas in this part of the country "Andy" can boast of two world championship challenge cups.One of them, the Hearst International Challenge Trophy, which he took from the Kalamazoo. Mich club in 1913 is the most coveted of any ice trophy in the world. "Andy" piloted the Princess II owned by Emil Fauerbach to victory for this trophy, and in three of the most thrilling races ever held for the trophy. In the last of three races held for the trophy, the ice was mushy and a gale was blowing. Part of Princess II was smashed, the sail was not under control, and although the Princess spun around like a top, Flom stuck with her and won the world's championship. Since winning the trophy Flom has been challenged on several occasions but at no time have weather conditions been favorable and the race was not held. The other world's championship trophy held by Flom is the world's Championship Ice Yacht Challenge Trophy offered by the Square People, Menominee, Mich. It was with Clinton Steinle's Miss Wisconsin that Flom won this trophy in 1922 and in 1923. The Miss Wisconsin is a 450 footer as was the Princess II. It is interesting to note that Flom piloted Miss Wisconsin ahead of the Princess in a race here last year. Flom has a reputation as a skipper of uncanny ability. Its second nature to him to skip boats to victory. Since a youngster able to walk on the ice he has always been around ice boats whenever the opportunity afforded, and it has been a safe bet that with Flom piloting a boat, a victory could be chalked up right off the reel.
