Thank you to all members who participated in the 2025 IDNIYRA Officer and Bylaw Election.

We are pleased to announce the newly elected officers, whose terms will begin July 1, 2025:

  • Commodore: Rob Holman, US3705
  • Vice Commodore: Karen Binder, US5630
  • Secretary/Treasurer: Deb Whitehorse, US2366
  • Past Commodore: Bob Cummins, US3433

The proposal to amend the format of the North American Championship Regatta has also passed. The change reduces the maximum number of races from 14 to 7 when the North Americans are not held in conjunction with the World Championship. In the days remaining after completion of the North American Championship, there shall be held a U.S. National or Canadian National Regatta, depending on the location of the event.

Thank you to outgoing Commodore David Frost, US5358, as he and his legendary “stoop” transition to civilian life. We are grateful for his service and dedication to the DN class.
