Conor Ruppen Wins 2016 Highlander Nationals
Conor Ruppen Takes Top Honors at 2016 Highlander Nationals
by Tom Dawson
Conor Ruppen of Berlin Yacht Club is the 2016 National Champion of the Highlander Fleet. Conor and his crew, Carrie Patterson and Joyce Spring, sailed like champions and ran away from the competition at Highlander Nationals held at Indian Lake, Ohio, from July 16 to 21, 2016.
Conor sailed Highlander 1959, which is owned by BYC Members Rob and Joyce Spring. As you may know, Conor is primarily a Thistle sailor, and he had only skippered a Highlander one time before Nationals. Conor praised his crew, stating that they did a fantastic job of playing the vang, calling the shifts, and watching the compass while he drove the boat.
Regatta Success at BYC
Little Berlin Yacht Club did it again. On Father’s Day weekend we hosted 38 boats at our annual regatta, including 16 Flying Scots, 9 Thistles, 9 Single-handed, and 4 Highlanders. The club went all out in hospitality starting on the Friday night before the regatta and breakfast Saturday morning. Visitors from as far away as western Michigan and Illinois made the trek to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers flood control lake in northeastern Ohio.
