For those serious sailors who compete in the
Chicago Mac, the
Port Huron to Mac and the
Trans Superior,
the boat with the best points overall will be the recipient of this prestigious new challenge trophy and title.
The 2003 Barthel Tri-Lake Challenge has now been completed.
A total of three boats completed in this all new format used to resurrect the beautiful Barthel Trophy.
The three boats were two GL 70's and one N/M 50.
In the beginning all three VP's from each respective Lake Association gave input to the scoring of the event.
Basically, each race and its corresponding Lake Association used their local scoring system.
Each of the boats placed (1st, 2nd, 3rd) according to their adjusted finish.
The marketing and management of the Barthel fell upon LSYA in conjunction with their running of the Trans Superior, that being the last of the three races.
The winning boat was Colt 45, a GL 70, and it was officially awarded the Barthel for 2003.
A keeper trophy was presented.
The Barthel trophy will be placed (for safe keeping) with other suitable antique Trans Superior trophies in the Maritime Museum at Duluth for viewing and appreciation from a huge public visitation.
Some restoration is needed on the Barthel, namely a reworking of the engraved shields, to make them all as originally intended.
