International DN Ice Yacht Racing Association
What's new
 The Technical Committee has issued some new Official Interpretations. These Interpretations help clarify the Specifications on the runner Specifications.
Loretta
Rehe was asked to describe how she scores a regatta using the IDNIYRA
scoring system, in particular what is affectionately known as the "Bart" rule.
Paul Goodwin has expanded on her explanation to provide a general
description of scoring a major DN regatta from the scorer's "on
the ice" perspective.
Scoring a DN
regatta using the "Bart" system
The Official Plans are now available for download! You can get the scale plans
and view them on you computer, or print them out.
The printed plans are still for sale, but this provides a low-cost option
to encourage more building.
Paul Goodwin is making his venerable scoring program available for widespread use. If you are invloved in scoring iceboat regattas, from 5 boats to 200, you need to check this out...
Flash! A
new version of the program is out!! If anyone has downloaded a
version prior
to February 16, 2010 please check out this new release. Lots of
improvements, plus a couple bug fixes. This release also includes
the latest sailor library with the current 2010 ranking.
Update!
Newly added - a couple short tutorials on regatta scoring using
this awesome program. The first is a beginner tutorial, aimed at
getting the new user up and running. The second is an advanced
tutorial specifically
covering regattas where the "split fleet" system based on sailor
ranking us used (Worlds and North American Champioships).
