DN Worlds 2026 – Day 0
Travel has kept all of us moving through Europe to the 2026 IDNIYRA World Championship. We all have a long story about how we arrived to Sweden, many via Poland where the Grand Masters regatta was held and where we had hoped to sail
Poland was the plan. Snow changed it. The decision was made and the championship shifted to Sweden. That is ice sailing, we go where the ice is right.
We are staying at Kolmården Vildmarkshotell, part of the Kolmården wildlife park. There is a zoo here (they have a panda, a snow leopard, and tigers!) , forest trails, pools, climbing areas, and more children than iceboats at the moment. Sweden is on holiday this week, and the resort is built for families. It’s a wonderful place for children with many activities for them.
I am helping with registration and scoring this week. Here’s a few photos from that side of the operation.
Racing begins tomorrow, Sunday, February 15.
The ice is here. That is what matters. Glad Alla hjärtans dag.
