Lake Geneva Yacht Club A Scow Races

The Lake Geneva Yacht Club A Scow Races are held throughout the summer in beautiful Lake Geneva. WI. In sailing, the A-Scow is a large sailing scow. It is 38 feet long and with reported top speeds of over 25 knots.[citation needed] With its rules of design, also known as scantlings, first being written in 1901, the A-Scow has a significant history. With a large sail area and little keel ballast, the five to seven crew members must work in unison on the A-Scow to keep the boat sailing fast and upright. The boat is mainly sailed in Minnesota and Wisconsin Harry "Buddy" Melges, Jr., is one of the most successful competitive sailors in history, with dozens of national and international championships in many different classes, including ice-boating as well as conventional sailing. Born January 26, 1930, in Elkhorn, Wisconsin, Melges grew up on Lake Geneva, Wisconsin sailing the boats designed and manufactured by his father, Harry Melges Sr. Based in Zenda, Wisconsin, Melges Performance Sailboats is still in operation, and is now run by Buddy's son, Harry Melges III. Their Melges 24, introduced in 1993, became one of the most successful launches in boatbuilding history, and today Melges Performance Sailboats is the only builder of many inland lake scow classes, including the A, E, C, M, MC and the Melges 17. sailing, lake geneva yacht club, buddy melges, america's cup, winner, races, A scow, water, lake, waves, blue, wind www.ReelLifeTV.net www.lakegenevanews.net
