Deteriorating ice forced the end of the Euro Champs after 2 days and 8 races. The Pols dominated and King Karol reigned supreme.

Below is a posting from the European Commodore:
Dear Fellow Iceboaters!

We have checked today several spots to continue the EC, but sorry to say that no-one of those was suitable for races. The ice still strong (19-20 cm), but unfortunately several small cracks appeared, which could not be a problem for fun sailing, but during the race, in stressed situation, when you may be forced to change your course they could be very dangerous.

Therefore the decision is to finish the EC.

We had two wonderful days of sailing. Thanks to the professional work of the Race Committee during the races we could manage to complete 8-8 races for the Gold Fleet and for the Silver Fleet and 7 races for the Bronze Fleet. All together 27 races in two days!! Wow!!

The Price Giving Ceremony will be held today, during the Party we organised earlier.

Place: Hotel Margaréta

Time: 19:30
Cheers,
Attila
