Johnson Lake Art & Wine Festival Committee Letter to Artists

Johnson Lake will be the site of the 2013 Mutineer 15 National Sailing Championship July 23-27. The Mutineer 15 is a 15-foot sloop rigged sailboat that is raced by two people. 20-30 boats from all over the country are expected to compete for the National title. Crews from as far away as Massachusetts, North Carolina, New York, Florida, Michigan, Alabama, Texas as well as area states including Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, and Colorado have indicated they plan on making the trip to compete.

Tuesday and Wednesday will be weighing, measuring and practice races on Wednesday afternoon. Official races will start Thursday morning and 5-6 races are scheduled each day continuing through Saturday noon. Anyone can watch the races from about anywhere and the lake will not be closed off in any manner. Spectators in boats are just asked to stay away from the inflatable marks by at least 15-20 yards as the boats are maneuvering around them and be aware of leaving a large wake following the racers around the course.  Courses will be set for the most part in the middle of the lake, however wind direction may drive them to any end or sides if needed.
