Dear Fellow Iceboaters,

After having some wet races in November far North in Finland we had the possibility to sail on good ice only in far South in Hungary. The season started here in mid December.

We had quite cold January throughout Europe, thus as today there are plenty of good ice sailing places on the continent. The social media is loaded with many of good photos and videos. Unfortunately the ICE REPORT on our website do not mirror this situation.

PLEASE USE OUR WEBSITE AND REPORT ON GOOD ICE CONDITIONS!!!

The European Championship is on our doorstep and we have to know which are the best places with good conditions to organise the event. Please provide us with reliable information to make easy to decide on the site.

We will start ice scouting on the week before the EC start. Your help in this would be highly appreciated.

Please contact me on any of the channels below.

For those who intend to participate on this event, please check your gear whether everything is ok and safe, freshen your knowledge on Right-of-Way and Safety Rules and sail as much as possible before the event.

Wish you all safe trip to the EC, lot of fun and success.

Dear Sailors,
tonight I again looked after the problems some of you had when registering. They found themselves in a not ending loop after typing in their sail number and ID. This is not a bug of the entry procedure, this is due to the browser safety settings on the devices of the sailors. Browser of today sometimes prevent automatically the internal forwarding, sometimes it is set by the users, more or less with intend. The online entry programming cannot be adapted to the many browsers on the market in different versions and numerous different user settings. That would be a Sisyphus work. For the next season I will look for a solution to prevent blocking.
Now I researched following browsers and was able to do an entry!!:
iPad (Apple):
Safari / 1st try
Firefox / 1st try

Desktop:
Chrome / 2nd try
Firefox / 2nd try

Smartphone (Android):
Chrome / 2nd try

The absolute only solutions I now can suggest are:
– follow the loop and do it twice (should work in most cases)
– take an other browser
– take an other device
– take an other device and with an other browser
– empty your browser cache
and/or
– set your personal browser settings to “Standard”

Wish you success, Godie

Dear friends,
thx for patience, the minor bug is fixed now, you can use the Online Entry as usual.

Dear friends,

I right now opened the Online-Registration for EC 2017.

(I know it is one hour earlier than written in the NOR, but I would have had time late in the evening again)
