Three possible sites are now under consideration for the DN North American regatta:
Green Lake in Green Lake, WI
West end of Lake Mendota in Madison, WI
Green Bay near Peshtigo, WI.
Green Lake and Mendota are being sailed today.
We will have registration tonight at regatta headquarters with plans of sailing Friday and Saturday.
We will make accommodations for all the ice scouts who are currently spread out across Wisconsin so that they will not miss the registration.
DN sailors have been scouting for an ice sheet to hold the 2017 North American championship after Lake Kegonsa, the site of the 2017 Worlds, was covered with a few inches of wet snow Tuesday night.
The sites in Ashland, WI and Escanaba, MI were deemed not acceptable for racing. We are putting sailors on Madison area lakes. We hope to hear back from them within a couple of hours.
The DN Gold Cup World Championship has been called complete. Congratulations to Poland’s Karol Jablonski for winning an impressive 11th world championship, to Tim Sugar for his win the Silver (B) fleet, and to Chad Coberly for his win in the (C) Bronze fleet.

There will be a skipper’s meeting at 1 PM at the Clarion Hotel where we will provide more information.
