Based on our ice scout report today, I am sorry to report that I will need to postpone our 2023 Central Regatta that was tentatively scheduled for Jan 7- 8, 2023. The Central Regatta will now be scheduled after the DN Gold Cup & North American Championship.
Next update will be Monday. January 30, 2023 after 9pm EST.
Good luck to everyone attending the DN Gold Cup & North American Championship. Sail Fast!
Stay tuned & be ready for a February regatta.
Think Ice & think cold!!

REGISTERED COMPETITORS
Greetings From the Western Region,
Following is a round up of regatta information. Have a question? Get in touch with us: secretary.idniyra@gmail.com
COMPETITOR COMMUNICATION
Texting:
As we’ve done in the past three years, we will use a texting program to communicate with competitors. No need to download an app, messages from the Race Committee will come right to your phone. After each race, when the scoring team completes the line-up sheets, they will send a photo by text for your convenience. (Of course, this depends on cell phone coverage, but we have yet to encounter a problem.) If you don’t carry a phone on the ice, we will post the line-up sheets as usual. Unfortunately, our texting software doesn’t handle international numbers, but no worries, we have you covered with WhatsApp.
WhatsApp
We’ve set up a WhatsApp Group to communicate with our international competitors. If you’d like to join, email or text Deb, and she’ll send you the link to join.
HARKEN – AT THE FRONT, THERE’S ICE
Harken is the official media sponsor of the 2023 World Championship. Harken marketing communications team members, including Hannah Noll, will join us on the ice to produce daily video reports and social media content. Hannah and the Harken team will be looking to interview competitors, so here’s your chance to share your passion for DN sailing with a global audience.
Follow Harken on Instagram and Facebook for storytelling throughout the event.
