LAKE ERIE MULTIHULLS 2011
Gary Hall Series
Way back in 1997, Fred Babson and Mark Kelly
pitched the concept of the Western Erie Sailing Association to promote
the sport of sailing for both Cruising and Racing sailors. The WESail
Series culminated in individual championships for each fleet, including a
championship for Multihulls. Boats from across the shores of Lake Erie, from
Detroit to Cleveland, participated in these events. Lake Erie Multihulls
borrowed their moniker for our own race series and a single-handed multihull
sailor, Ray Mason III and his company, Columbus Truck and Equipment
answered the call to sponsor all the First-to-Finish Flags and the
Multihull Championship, donating a flag we called the Top Dog Flag.
Ray was our benefactor for 5 years.
Now we have another benefactor, Gary Hall, who
generously donated a sum of money, which we will use to sponsor the Multihull
Championship. We’re looking for a Perpetual Trophy, and of course,
there will be a championship flag. We’ve renamed the series the Gary Hall
Series.
Below you will find a tentative schedule for the 2011
series. Your five best races out of the nine designated races will count toward
the series with at least one race from each of the three regions; East, West and
Central. I-LYA Bay Week Regatta, Fall Bay Regatta and the Trans-Erie Race will
count as either East or West.

GREAT LAKES MULTIHULL
RACING ASSOCIATION 2011
Traveler
Series (Preliminary)
In 2005, Offshore Multihull
Sailor and generous sponsor, Gary Hall, purchased a beautiful
trophy (A huge brass bell on a stand) which was to be used as a perpetual trophy
for the Gary Hall Series, here on Lake Erie. Jim Frederick and
I won it on Big Storm the first year. But we felt that we needed to
expand the purpose of this trophy.
In 2006, we rededicated the
Gary Hall Perpetual Trophy to GLMRA for the GLMRA
Multihull Traveler Series. The name, GLMRA, is
already engraved on the bell. This will be like the LEM Gary Hall Series in that
the winner of the GLMRA Traveler Series
must be a member of GLMRA. The criteria is different for 2011, in that we will
be using a high point scoring system and thus giving greater weight to
races which have more participation. Your best 4 races out of the 9
designated races will count toward the series. This series includes the
Mills Race, Queens Cup, TMCC Regatta, Chicago Mac, Lake Ontario
300, Port Huron Mac, Youngstown Levels, Great Lake Champs and the Green Island
Race. In order that your score be counted, there must be at least 3
GLMRA Certificate Holders
participating in the event.
Gary Hall
also donated a smaller version of the Bell as a Keeper Trophy. The
winner of the GLMRA Traveler Series will get his name/boat name engraved
on the perpetual trophy and he will be awarded the GLMRA Keeper Trophy.
Below you will find the
schedule for the 2011 series. Your four best races out of the
eight designated races will count toward the series with at least one
race from each of the three regions; East, West and Central. The Mills Race,
Great Lake Champs and Green Island Race will count as either East or West.
