IDNIYRA Europe Here is the last set of photos shot and edited by Polish photographer Gwidon Libera from the last day of 2019 European Championship on Lake Śniardwy in northeastern Poland. More breeze gave the boats the chance to work and show off the famous DN bendy mast and Gwidon zeroed in on the action. There are so many excellent action packed photos from today that It was difficult to choose one for the main photo of this post. This regatta marks the first time that Gwidon has ever photographed iceboats. Once again, thank you Gwidon Libera for sharing your photos with the world. UPDATE: Gwidon’s photos are avilable for purchase here.
A Fleet: 1st Jarek Radski P431 (Poland), 2nd Tomasz Zakrzewski P55 (Poland), 3rd Mihkel Kosk C45 (Estonia)
