Swedish Championship 2014 | To be continued…
Hello Europe!
We plan to continue the 2014 Swedish Championship which we started i February earlier this year, but weren’t able to finish. Only one race was completed back then and the regatta is of course open for newcomers to register, though to be fair you will have to start with a DNS in the first race…
If the weather cooperates we plan to race the 13-14 or the 20-21 of December, get the latest updates on our website or the Facebook-group ‘DN Sweden’.

See you on the ice!

Mandatory Rule Test for the Eurpean Championship/Euro Cup 2015
Dear Iceboaters
The first boats have been out on the Ice in Russia and Finland. Time to get ready. Beside the equipment the sailors have to get ready too. Physically and theoretically. To avoid surprises please study the following lines with care. Only those who pass the test will be allowed to participate in the major European Events from now on.
You all are aware, that the “Right of Way Rules” in Iceboating are deferring a lot from those used in Soft Water sailing!? Are you absolutely sure you know every difference? The last years showed us it is known to evrybody. This led and could lead further to critical situations. Just printing and distributing the rules did not solve the Problem at all. We needed to come up with something that works. read more…
INSURANCE – ID ASSIGNING WILL START SOON ……
Dear friends,
daylight saving time will end comming Sunday (03:00 CET).

I hope that we will keep that percentage of correctness 😉
I wish you all a safe season with a lot of sailing and even more fun !
