It’s been a busy December but Runner Tracks has finally arrived on your virtual doorstep. It is a real pleasure to have IDNIYRA Commodore, Warren Nethercote KC3786, featured on the cover. He had a much better Great Western Challenge than last year! Thanks to all who contributed to this issue.
We’d be thrilled to see you at the Twenty20 DN North American Championship. If you’re able to make it, but have not yet registered, please just send us an email letting us know you are coming. debwhitehorse@gmail.com
We’d like to prepare for you a thermal vest customized with event logo and your sail number. The men’s version of the vest is dark gray and the women’s version light gray. Sizing information at this link.
If you can’t cross the pond this year, I’ll look forward to seeing you at the Gold Cup in February.
Best,
Daniel Hearn

We did not provide possibility for online registration for American sailors, but would appreciate if all who intend to came over would drop an email to me with the copy to Niklas and Godie, indicating their name and sail number. commodore@idniyra.eu insurancemgr@idniyra.eu webmaster@idniyra.eu
It is necessary to prepare the proper stickers to all. The entry will be done on the site at the check-in for a single entry fee.

Have your runners sharpened! Central Lakes Rear Commodore Rob Holman has tentatively called on the 2019 Central Region Championships for December 28-29, 2019 for somewhere in the Central Region (likely Michigan).

You’ve worked hard this year, so go ahead and buy yourself that gift you’ve been putting off—that registration for the DN North American Championships. If you get it done before midnight today, the Grinch won’t even slap you with that $50 late registration fee, that we’re not calling a late registration fee. We’re calling it a “convenience fee,” because pre-event research revealed that ice sailors prefer to spin things toward the positive. So, we’re offering you the convenience of registering after midnight tonight for JUST an additional $50 bucks. Yes, you heard that right, JUST $50 bucks. What’s $50 bucks, anyway? Your weekly Starbucks budget? A week’s cable bill? The tip you left for the cocktail waitress at the last regatta? Chump change! So go ahead, put it off as long as you like, we’ll still welcome you at the event like the prodigal son. Click to Register
