HISTORY
In December 2009, a much requested new
spring Regatta for cruising boats was added to the HIYC calendar
to take advantage of early spring winds and weather. HIYC had
only one Regatta in the month of April (The Tennessean) which
left room for one more. The Board of Governors had also been
looking for a way to honor one of its long time racing
enthusiasts, former Commodore, Stann Trophy Award, Caldwell
Service Award and Iros Cruising Award recipient Chuck Konesky.
A member since 1977, Chuck has been an avid racer on numerous
boats from Lightning's and J-Boats to his larger C&C cruising
sailboats. Throughout the years, not only has Chuck proven to be
extremely successful and competitive on the race course, he has
also exemplified the True Corinthian Spirit our club strives
for. After announcing the new regatta and consulting with Chuck
about possible racing formats for this new Regatta named in his
honor, the one thing Chuck wanted most was to get members who
normally don’t race out on the lake enjoying our wonderful
sport. From this idea, the J.A.M. Fleet (Jib and Main– No
Spinnakers) was born at Harbor Island. This fleet will focus on
those who may be less experienced at sailboat racing or simply
want a more “relaxed” racing environment. Not only will the
Konesky Great River Race prove to be a challenge for true
“racers” and those new to racing but will also give true
cruisers the opportunity to get out and sail with and against
their friends.
