The Eastern Region isn’t done yet. Moosehead Lake in Maine often delivers some of the best sailing of the season this time of year.
Eastern Region Commodore James “T” Theiler US5224 has tentatively called the Eastern Region Championship for Moosehead on March 28–29. LINK
Come for the sailing. Stay for the scenery and the camaraderie. A strong way to close the season and one you’ll be glad you didn’t miss.
Hey Folks-
Once again the forecast during the week is looking favorable for decent ice at Moosehead Lake in central Maine this weekend.
AND the weekend itself looks good too!
So as IDNIYRA Eastern Regional Commodore I am calling the regatta on for the weekend.
Please email me at t_thieler@yahoo.com and let me know if you are interested, this will help me get a read on how many hotel rooms etc we will need.
Look forward to hearing from everyone! Stay tuned….

DN sailors Eben Whitcomb US4775, Jeff Roseberry US5687, and Paul Chamberland KC5700 scouted Lake Champlain this week and found 4+ inches of impressive-looking ice. Sailors from Canada, Michigan, and the east coast are converging for a weekend of sailing.
Here’s a link to the report on the New England Ice Yacht Association website with details and contact info. LINK
Sailors are staying at the Hampton in Colchester, VT.
If you’ve been itching to get back on good ice in a big setting, this one may be worth loading the trailer.
