Here’s a raw, unedited video from the 1993 IDNIYRA World Championship from Andre Baby, the Montreal Iceboating Association, and Jeff Kent. The 1993 Worlds was memorable for being one of the biggest, with four fleets and over 170 competitors, and sailed on Geneva Lake in southern Wisconsin. The video is typical 1990s VCR quality but still worth a look. Pay close attention, and you’ll see many familiar faces in the opening ceremony and the trophy presentation. There’s racing footage in between the opening ceremony and the prize giving. Happy New Year from the IDNIYRA.
Jeff Kent Wins Worlds By Eric Armstrong US4232 February 1993 IDNIYRA Runner Tracks Newsletter
Jeff Kent of Weymouth, Massachusetts USA, has won what is being hailed as the most competitive Gold Cup in the history of the event with eleven points. One hundred seventy-eight competitors from ten countries gathered in Fontana, Wisconsin, to race on Geneva Lake on January 24th, 1993. Ten competitors at the regatta had a ranking number of three or less. This is the largest fleet of top competitors ever assembled in North America. All of these factors combined to make the 1993 World Championships very competitive and, most of all lots of FUN! Click here to continue reading.

Via Vice Commodore Warren Nethercote who recently attended the European Secretaries Meeting in Warsaw, Poland.
“The meeting set dates for key regattas in 2018, starting with the Gold Cup. Estonia will be the host nation for the 2018 World Cup and European Championships, February 25th to March 3rd, 2018. If the weather and ice conditions allow the regatta to be sailed in Estonia it will be an opportunity to celebrate the centenary of iceboating in that country. Other regatta dates spun off the dates for the Gold Cup: February 5th to 9th, 2018 for the Junior DN and Ice Opti Worlds and January 21st to 27th, 2018 for the North American Championships.”
