1998 One Design 35 Great Lakes Championship
Holland Michigan
August 22 & August 23

The first annual One Design 35 Great Lakes Championships
began on a glassy Lake Michigan under light wind conditions with
barely a puff over 8 knots to be found the entire day.  Despite a major wind
shift in the second race, leading to course relocation for the third race,
the committee got off three successful starts Saturday, August 22.

Day two of the 1D35 GL Championship saw conditions nearly
the opposite of day one.  Winds of a consistent 15 with regular blasts
up to 25 knots combined with seas ranging from 4 to 10 feet to provide
a challenging fast day.  Several boats saw 19 on their knotmeters with
boat speeds of 15-16 being the norm.
