2020 LBSS Opti Results - Charlie Bruss Wins

A total of 47 RWB Fleet sailors arrived at the Lake Beulah Yacht Club to compete in the 28th annual LBSS Opti Regatta. The RWB Championship Fleet PRO, Kent Haeger, started the first Championship race promptly at 10 am with light winds. Pine’s John Lieber took the first race followed by 2019 champion Henry Ackley, also of Pine. A second race was also sailed in light air. Charlie Bruss followed a fifth place in the first race with a bullet in the second.

Unfortunately, Mother Nature brought moisture to the course after lunch. A thunderstorm cleared the lake of Opti’s and turned off the breeze. Without wind, the regatta ended with Bruss taking home the title with six points. He was followed by Ethan Bowman (9 points) of Oshkosh and Henry Ackley (10 points). For results, click here.

Greetings friends of the Lake Beulah Sailing School – spring has sprung and the docks and boats are going in and that means soon it’ll be summer and all the kids can go sailing! We are very excited for the 2016 season to get here, as we’ve got some great things in store, both old and new:

  • Instructors will include some seasoned veterans and a couple of great new additions!
  • We look forward to a great and spirited Green Fleet this year as many of the kids who fell in like with sailing over the last couple Learn-to-Sail (LTS) sessions fully commit to loving the sport and all the great friends and memories they’ll be making!
  • We have two more weeks of LTS on the calendar and the spots are already filling up!
  • We’ll be adding something new, a Saturday morning Kinderpram for the younger (4-5 year old) set that just can’t wait to get on the water (not yet on the official calendar, details to follow)!
  • Another round of Adult Learn to Sail and the Beulah Opti regatta also in store!
  • We’ll be having our final run with Trivia Night for the fundraiser and it’s scheduled for Saturday night July 2, please mark your calendar to join us and plan to bring your friends and family that are in town so that we can make our last Trivia Night a raging success!

Annie Haeger (East Troy, Wisc.) has been named the 2015 Rolex Yachtswoman of the Year in recognition of her impressive list of top results in 470 Class competition throughout 2015.
Haeger and crew Briana Provancha (San Diego, Calif.) made their mark on the international stage by winning gold at the Olympic Test Event in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. They won the event by seven points through 10 races in a highly competitive fleet featuring the gold and silver medal-winning boats from the London 2012 Games.
“Winning gold at the Olympic Test Event was a major confidence booster, and it reinforced that if we can earn US Olympic Team selection we have a chance to medal at the Games.”
Haeger and Provancha experienced success in other high-caliber women’s 470 events, including the European Championship (3rd place) and the South American Championship (4th place).
“Winning this award was never something I was ever expecting or aiming for, since Briana and I have been totally focused on the Olympics,” said Haeger. “To be on a list with so many amazing sailors, and to win this on behalf of my incredible teammate and the US Sailing Team Sperry, is unbelievable. I am just so honored.”
