The 2022 IDNIYRA Western Region Championship is tentatively called on for January 8 – 9, 2022 for Big Spirit Lake in Spirit Lake, Iowa.
Big Spirit Lake has 10″ of black ice, 95% snow-free. “The remaining snow on the better part of the lake will result in 1 – 2″ jumpers,” according to Pat Heppert who walked and drilled the lake today. There is enough ice for 2 courses.  It will be sailed by ranked sailors on Thursday morning, January 6. Final confirmation will be made on Thursday, January 6 by 1 PM CT.

The 2022 Western Region Championship has been postponed until January 8-9, 2022. Warm weather followed by a snow event has left us with no viable sites. With colder weather moving in, we are optimistic for good conditions the weekend of January 8-9. The next update is on Tuesday, January 4, by 5 PM CT. Have a Happy New Year!

Cancellation of the 2022 North American Championships: U.S. Nationals Called ON

The IDNIYRA Governing Committee earlier announced plans to decide by November 22th the status of the 2022 North American championship. The Governing Committee has agreed that continuing changes, challenges, and uncertainties relating to the pandemic make it apparent that holding the regatta in 2022 is not in the best interest of our class members. Therefore the 2022 North American championship is canceled.

However, based upon the success of last year’s non-ranking U.S. Nationals Championship, IDNIYRA Governing Committee has decided to endeavor to hold another non-ranking American Championship in the same timeframe. Central Rear Commodore Rob Holman will soon release Notice of Race for the U.S. Nationals.
