ETCHELLS SERIES
• KELEMEN CUP TROPHY •
Overall Season Winner
11th Consecutive Awarding — 2011
In 2000, the Etchells, a 30' 3-4 person keelboat, began a rapid gain in popularity at LCYC. By 2001 the club fleet had grown to seven boats, and through the efforts of Dave Powlison, the International Etchells Class recognized the enthusiastic group as Etchells Fleet 25. In that same year Ernie Reuter, in honor of Rudy Kelemen, a past member of the Lake Geneva Yacht Club's "Old Guard" and a family member, submitted the Kelemen Cup to the Club as a trophy to be awarded annually to the overall season winner.
