2017 Swedish Championship // RACE IS ON!
The race is on for the 2017 Swedish Championship this weekend!
The regatta will take place on lake Yngaren in Nyköping and launching site will be at 58°49’17.9″N 16°38’30.8″E (map here).
The recent warm weather is wearing down the snow with great effect. Lake Yngaren was checked as late as this afternoon and is improving by the minute.
The worst snow drifts are now 1,5 cm and will most likely disappear tomorrow before the colder weather hits the area again, making the surface hard and dry.
To get to the course area we’ll have to cross a crack (you can’t sail over it safely), it will be marked with a flag and a wooden plank to walk across).
More info on launching site, accomodation etc. soon!
See you on the ice!
Head over to www.dnsweden.com for more info and registration.

EC 2017 FINAL RESULTS Corrected
Dear Fellow Iceboaters,
Today we rechecked the results of the 2017 European Championship and it came out that during the breaking of ties the throw-outs were discarded which led to an unfair result list. We recalculated the ties and the corrected results are posted below.
The Race Committee apologies for the mistakes made.
European Champioships – Series Standing – 23 races scored – Corrected FINAL
Have lot of fun and fair racing in the rest of the 2016/2017 Season.

European Championship – Final results
EC 2017 Finished
Dear Fellow Iceboaters!
We have checked today several spots to continue the EC, but sorry to say that no-one of those was suitable for races. The ice still strong (19-20 cm), but unfortunately several small cracks appeared, which could not be a problem for fun sailing, but during the race, in stressed situation, when you may be forced to change your course they could be very dangerous.
Therefore the decision is to finish the EC.
We had two wonderful days of sailing. Thanks to the professional work of the Race Committee during the races we could manage to complete 8-8 races for the Gold Fleet and for the Silver Fleet and 7 races for the Bronze Fleet. All together 27 races in two days!! Wow!!
The Price Giving Ceremony will be held today, during the Party we organised earlier.
Place: Hotel Margaréta
Time: 19:30
Cheers,
Attila
