We're everything from tooth drillers to ditch diggers, Johnny Cash to kanYe West, kids in kindergarten to kids in college, plus everything in between. And on many warm weather weekends from early Spring to late Fall, we come together forming a magical amalgamation around a common passion. We're the Catamaran Racing Association of Wisconsin. Come join us!
We tow our 16 - 21 foot cats to beautiful venues around the state of Wisconsin. Whether we're on the Great Lake that forms our eastern shore or one of the inland lakes gracing "God's Country," - there's one thing for sure. Everywhere we go, we have a can't-wait-for-the-next-one great time.
We race on a handicap system, so it really doesn't matter what type of cat you sail. We've got national champions piloting some of the latest spinnaker'd hot rods, and novices who just need a little help knowing which orange thing to steer toward. Regardless of your experience or ability, you'll find the CRAW crowd to be exceptionally helpful and friendly. And if you're ready to really mix it up out on the race course, rest assured, you'll find plenty of competition, too!
For a little taste of the action, check out the DVD clip of our previous season. Then come on out to our next regatta!

CINCO DE MAYO
|
On Saturday, May 5th, also known as Cinco de Mayo, we celebrated our new sailing season with a FIESTA!!!
Our Ice Breaker meeting/social had a Mexican theme, and everyone really got into the spirit, from the decorations, to the food, to the drinks! Linda, out outgoing Co-Commodore, treated us to a taco bar with all the fixings. Thanks to everyone who brought such delicious food to share. Dave and Mayo provided a festive bar, complete with margaritas in fancy glasses. Karl and Margarita made a pinata filled with candy and gift certificates from local restaurants. Everyone had fun trying to break it and reveal the prizes hidden inside. some lucky winners also went home with a flowering cactus! Co Commodores Curt and Linda Frost turned over the mainsheets to new Co Commodores Dave and Mayo Ewanowski. We welcomed new members, Hank and Pat Bruse and Peter Manley! We had 34 sailors in attendance. It was one of our most successful and fun parties. We all look forward to a great sailing season. |

CHILI CRUISE, OCTOBER 21, 1017
Our annual fall Chili Cruise was a rousing success and full of a few surprises, thanks to its organizer, Gary Felber. First of all, after a week's forecast predicting rain, the temperature was sunny and 75 degrees. People bought different varieties of chili, so instead of dumping these creations into one pot, we decided to keep them separate and savor each interesting flavor. Then to our astonishment, Gary brought out his guitar and harmonica and serenaded us throughout the evening. We sat by a lovely fire on the beach and enjoyed one of the last nice nights of autumn.
Thank you Gary and all who attended and contributed delicious food . Your efforts are appreciated by all.
