Dear Fellow Icesailors,

The icesailing season is now in full throttle! In the past month, European Icesailors reported ice and have been icesailing in Finland, Norway, and Sweden. DN Finland in anticipation of Hosting this season’s European Championship has already conducted multiple successful regattas.

On behalf of IDNIYRA-EUROPE and the Finnish Ice Sailing Association, we invite all ice boaters to compete in the European DN Championship 2025 Euro-Cup 2025.

Please be sure that you have completed the following preparations to compete at the EC 2025:

1. Have you paid your membership for the 2024-25 season?
The days are getting colder and with the beginning of the hard-water season, our Membership fees are due.
Our Membership fee for the 2024-25 season remains €30.
In line with the Race Management Agreement, DN Class Regattas are open to any member in good standing of the IDNIYRA or IDNIYRA-Europe.
Members in Europe also have to be members of their National Icesailing Fleets.
Please check that you have activated your account for this season.
Only members with activated accounts are eligible to make Registration and online Event Entry to our events.

(If you received an email confirmation last week about a successful membership fee payment, please check the date of the transaction, as it may be from last season.)

2. Have you submitted your Third-Party Liability Insurance for approval?
Please be aware of the upcoming deadline: Insurance-Check for Regular Entry will be done manually by our Insurance Manager until 2025.01.15 23.59 CET.
(This allows each sailor to get feedback about the validity of their insurance, so don’t leave it to the last minute.)
Only competitors who have uploaded their TPL Insurance until the insurance deadline will be able to make event entry at the regular price.
Please check our TPL insurance criteria and upload your insurance via your account. We do not accept insurance via email.
