The Wave Midwest Champion is Patrick Green, 2006 National Champ, of Put-in-Bay, Ohio (on left). 2nd place was Ki Hickok, up and coming youth sailor, of Indianapolis (on right); and 3rd place was Skip Kaub, event organizer, of Noblesville, Indiana (center).
Skip did a great job of getting people out onto the water, and getting a group of us into the garage and pit area at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Friday. Eagle Creek Sailing Club provided a wonderful venue, and great food and music. The winds were strong (from all directions <img src=

I would like to Thank Skip Kaub and the Eagle creek sailing club for one hell of a regatta. Skip personally brought five boats that were all race ready and very competitive. The conditions were very shifty and gusty which made for some AWESOME racing. All the racers did a great job and I think many new to the class are hooked on the small but exciting one handed Wave class. Again thank you Skip for making this event happen. I had a great weekend, at a great venue, and met many new friends... Isn't that what racing sailboats is all about..
