Good morning from Parnu, Estonia, home of the 2024 DN World & European Championship and Junior World Championships. Just back from breakfast buffet where competitors were starting their day. We’ll soon be heading to the launch site, about 11 km from the hotel, for opening ceremonies followed by a skipper’s meeting and then racing. North Americans here include Chris Berger, Bob Cummins, John Curtis, David Frost, Daniel Hearn, Jacek Marzenski, and Ron Sherry. I’ll try for some Facebook live today on the IDNIYRA North American Facebook page.

Hi all – Warmer temperatures than expected, honeycomb/snow ice and no wind. I just don’t think we are going to have safe conditions for a regatta this weekend. I’m putting Centrals back on postponement. Thanks for your patience. I will report back when there is something to report.
Thanks!

Higgins Lake in Northern Michigan was sailed by ranked sailors this past Sunday and Monday. They found a large area of solid ice with about ¼ inch of snow on top. Ice is is about 4.5-5 inches of snow ice on top of hard black ice. Favorable forecast for the week, we think it should hold up. I am tenatively calling Centrals on for this weekend 2/3-2/4. Final call Thursday evening. Stand by for details/information.
Location: Higgins Lake Michigan, launch is West Higgins lake boat Launch.

We do not have a safe venue yet. Higgins Lake in Michigan was reported to be nice, but warm weather and rain in the future means we can’t make a safe call for the weekend. The Centrals remain under postponement for this weekend.
Thanks for your patience,
