When Minnesota lakes start to freeze, lots of equipment comes out of hiding. US321 took advantage of Tim Oelschlager’s US5050 heated underground garage to mount hardware to a new plank. Hopefully, the epoxy will kick in time to scout ice for the first event of the DN calendar, the DN Western Challenge (Dec 2-4, 2022). The DN Western Challenge is an annual informal fun regatta on the best sailable ice in Minnesota. Keep your eye on the Minnesota Ice Sailing website.
A few years ago, DN Finland and DN Sweden joined forces to organize the Grand Masters regatta. This season’s regatta will be the fourth time well-seasoned DN sailors 60 years of age and over will compete in the three-day event DN Sweden will host. The Grand Masters Regatta focuses on fun and friendship, with three races per day scheduled. Grand Masters Regatta
