The Poles take up about one-third of the list of 30 sailors with an international IDNIYRA ranking of 10 or less. If you’d like to follow along, check out these sites:

Via DN Western Region Commodore Chris Berger:
A lot of snow has fallen on the Western Region over the last week and there is not much hope of finding regatta quality ice. But we haven’t given up hope just yet. Perhaps there are some lakes that have been spared. But don’t hold your breath.
Final call Thursday PM, February 18, 2021.
