Location for European Championships 2015
Dear Iceboaters,
the location for the European Championships 2015 is Tartu/Estonia.
The sailing area will be on Lake Võrtsjärv, appr. 45 mins to drive from Tartu.
Please consider the difficult weather circumstances this season, which led to this decision. Nevertheless these are the best conditions for sailing the EC. See Jörgs assessment of the conditions at the bottom of this posting.
The coordinates for the launching side are: 58.211127, 26.108671 . The area for the launching side is kindly provided by the Võrtsjärve Museum, so please be also kind and follow all given instructions for the use if there are any. Approaching the lake you’ll find signs “järvemuuseum” “Limnoloogia jaam” some kms before. Map: Road to the lake
The race course will be appr. 7km from the launching side and you have to pay attention for cracks (see Map and Pictures from Icecheck), cause they are not marked in this early state, later they will be marked of course.
Conditions:
At Lake Vörtsjärv the temperatures are slightly higher than in Sweden. The ice that I will see soon appears as hard ice of 30cm thickness. Such an ice can last up to a week even in plus degrees. There is -2 right now and will be the following night. Then night temperatures will be between 0 and 2 and the day temperatures between 3 and 5 degrees. From Wednesday on it will get colder there as well. The windspeed is supposed to be 6 m/s Monday and Tuesday and then 5 m/s Wednesday. Thursday no wind and light wind around Friday noon. Now please think of running qualifiers again. We could have more than 10 races in by Wednesday per fleet.
European Championship 2015 Update – 3
ICEBOATERS
What happened Wednesday and what will happen Thursday:
Today I spent most of the day in Finland. Cara drove me around and we checked two sites while Raimo checked the third one. Thank you guys!!! The result: Finland is out. Even though sailing was possible until Tuesday it is no longer. It got too warm in Finland, just unbelievable! The icethickness there still is between 30 and 40 cm with 20 cm snowice on top of 20 cm hardice. But the snowice got too soft to sail on. Even angle runners wouldn’t work but skis might do the Job.
I continued in the afternoon to Estonia and arrived a few moments ago in Tartu where I am going to check Lake Vörtsjärv with Alari Akermann right after sunrise. Then I will be heading for Sweden again to check Lake Dellen before darkness Thursdayafternoon.
Now there are basically two main Sites left Sweden/Lake Dellen near Hudigsvall and Estonia/Lake Vörtsjärv near Tartu and Lake Rekyva near Siaulia as a backup. Ueli, Matthieu and Jean Pierre are checking Lake Rekyva Thursdaymorning.
Here is the current outlook: read more…
European Championship 2015 Update – 2

While waiting for more precise weather prediction for the race week from next Monday a short Status Report: read more…

Regattas in Poland 6-8.02 !!!
Hello Everyone!
We have to cancel International Polish Championship. Instead we’ll race Polish DN Fleet. Number of races the same, ice condition also.
The reason… till noon there was a chance that the gear from States would arrive on time. On 5 o’clock I get to know that the equipment will only arrive after weekend.
I had to cancel our national championship ’cause we care for members of our fleet.
This is NOR for Friday
And here for Saturday and Sunday event.
Anyway, there’ll be still 3 days of icesailing.
Everyone is invited 😉
