Grant Frautschi of Madison won the 2009 Nationals on Lake Geneva. Saturday morning, three races were sailed in light to medium wind on a moderately choppy but snow-free ice. A dying afternoon breeze halted racing after an attempt at race four.

Sunday's racing was kick-butt fantastic. Five races back-to-back in 14 mph wind with occasional blasts and lulls. The leaders were never "safe" as it was always possible to move up through the fleet with a few good laps. Full results aren't posted yet, but they will.

It's hoped that more Minnesota Nites will keep this regatta in mind for next year.
