There is a good chance the 2016 DN North American Championships, scheduled for Feb 22-26, 2016, will be sailed close to home. A preliminary decision regarding regatta location will be made tonight. Bookmark https://ice.idniyra.org/hotline to access the latest information. The DN hotline page is the official notification center for the regatta.
If you haven’t already committed, think about attending. The NA's is a great regatta and a rare opportunity to see the best of the best strut their stuff. This year’s regatta is scheduled for 14 races.
NA's primary site
The primary and backup site to be determined by 9pm Thursday.
Thanks Bloom for getting the Mn group excited. If Wisconsin lakes are selected, check out the perfect next weeks forecast in Madison or Green Lake!

Madison Wi is the selection
Mendota, Monona or Kegonsa all have regatta quality ice. The next two days of warm windy weather will improve the 12-18" of black ice. Could be epic! Come have some fun. Green Lake, Wi with similar ice is a backup location. If conditions and wind are good, the 14 races could be sailed Mon-Wed.
