Pencil Sketch of Tim McCormick by Greg Whitehorse
Speaking of Tim McCormick in the previous post, this beautiful pencil sketch, created by Greg Whitehorse, captures Tim sailing his Renegade AIM on Lake Monona. Thank you, Greg, for this thoughtful piece of art that keeps Tim’s memory alive.

What an incredible day of racing! High winds high speeds! Monster thanks to Daniel Hearn and Don Anderson. Many iceboat clubs and and boat divisions fronted up! Great to see the German DN racers, Anja and Holger! Thanks to all the iceboat pilots that helped pronouns M165 and M197 getting us on and off the ice!
4LIYC Scoring
4LIYC Renegader Damien Luyet has graciously volunteered to take on the role of club scorer. Let’s take a moment to remember Tim McCormick, who managed the club scoring for many years with dedication. Tim’s contributions to the club were invaluable, and we deeply feel his absence. We are grateful to Damien for stepping into this role and continuing the tradition of maintaining our race results. Scores from recent races should be posted soon—stay tuned!

The scores for the 2024 Wisconsin Stern Steerers Association Regatta are now available! Check out the results here and see how the competition unfolded. Thank you to all the sailors, organizers, and volunteers who made this regatta a success.
Note: Although the regatta was sailed in 2025, the WSSA decided to consider it a 2024 regatta. This decision gives the class another opportunity to hold a regatta this year with the exceptional ice conditions we’re experiencing.
