DN NE CHAMPS ARE ON!
OK Gang, it’s on for this weekend!
DN New England Champs are ON. Sounds like Champlain is in good shape, wind forecast is good for the weekend. Chamberland and Roseberry have been sailing and scouting around Sand Bar State Park near Burlington tonight VT and will finalize a site by tomorrow afternoon.
Launch will likely be Sand Bar State Park.
Plenty of lodging in the area; the boys are scoping that out as well.
Skippers Meeting Saturday AM at launch, 10:30AM
First Race at 11:00AM
Be sure to have your insurance with you!!! NO EXCEPTIONS
Regular iceboating rules apply- familiarize yourselves with them at
https://www.idniyra.org/racing/rules-safety/
NOTE- some iceboating Right Of Way rules differ from soft-water rules so read them closely-
IF three of any class show up and want to race they will get a start and races of their own- all welcome!
In the DN Class a Vintage / Classic trophy will be awarded to the boat and skipper that has a certain combo of age / wear and tear / battle scars / character / and results!
We are looking for volunteers to run and score races- earn some karma and volunteer! If you are interesting in helping score or run races contact James “T” Thieler at t_thieler@yahoo.com
If not no big deal, we can use the Maine system (Regatta Chair runs first race, from there on whoever wins a race gets to run and score the next one. Average points awarded for the races missed. I think. Will figure it out when the smart people get there)
Feel free to contact me with any questions or to let me know what I’ve forgotten-
Stay tuned to NEIYA site for details and updates!
Think ICE and LINE ‘EM UP!!
RACING SATURDAY AND SUNDAY
Hey Folks-
Here we go! Sounds like there is ice to be had up in VT!
Scouts and locals report regatta-quality ice up at Sand Bar State Park just north of Mallets Bay.
Sand Bar | Vermont State Parks
It has been decided that this weekend’s racing should be called the Great Eastern Challenge because well, why not?
The sailors who scouted today will be out early looking for a course-sized sheet of good ice. They are hoping to have an area scoped out and marks set by noon. Scratch racing will ensue.
As always BE CAUTIOUS!! THERE ARE CRACKS AND HAZARDS! Check with locals and proceed slowly and cautiously until you get to the course. Be mindful of skaters and kite sailors etc as well.
The majority of boats will be DNs (old and new welcome!) but other types are welcome.
Contact Paul Chamberland with questions at 518 764 0005
See you all there!

Kingston Ontario Swap Meet!
The Kingston, Ontario group is happy to announce, we are doing a Swap Meet for iceboats.
Where?
John Curtis is graciously hosting at his house on NOVEMBER 15, 2025 from 1200 – 1700
44 Alwington Ave
Kingston, ON
Canada
John, as most know, is an excellent builder of many things and he especially loves to build iceboats, planks, runners…everything really. He’ll be happy to show you his shop where all the magic is done. Make sure you ask him about his new runner sharpening hand tools when you see him. I’m sure they will sell quick.
We will again have a blade sharpener on site for anyone who needs a quick pass to make their runners sharp. Also, I’m sure John will have his alignment jig handy if one needs an alignment.
I have heard of some iceboats for sale. This would be a good time to bring it and set it up for interested buyers. Last year two complete boats were sold at the meet.
Chilli will be hot served after the meet gets started. It went fast last year, I didn’t even get any so get there early.
Don’t forget to bring sails, masts, Booms, chocks…whatever you have extra you won’t need.
DN RANK LIST PUBLISHED
Hey Gang-
The DN Rank List for 2026 has been published! Take a look and see how you, your friends and rivals all stack up. Good for inspiration and motivation!
Speaking of motivation, there is a chill to the air this morning… Time to get into the shop and the gym and start prepping for the season. Looking forward to it!

Design Insights… Fascinating Stuff
Hey Gang-
This video has been around for a long time and I wanted to get it out there as it is one of my favorites!
It is a behind-the-scenes look at every aspect of designing and building the 12 Meter yacht that won the America’s Cup in 1987.
Some very smart people are involved and it is very interesting to see how they went about deciding what type of boat to design, which avenues to pursue, which ones to ignore, and how they investigated and verified all of their conclusions. They even talk about how they raised the money to pay for it all! Lots of cool footage of everything from sailing to tank testing to design meetings.
I know 12 Meter yachts are a world away from iceboats but the concepts and ideas presented in the documentary are relevant and applicable to iceboating, whether you are racing or cruising!
Watch, learn and enjoy!

Spring At Winni
A hopeful group showed up to Brewster Beach in Wolfeboro NH to give Winnipesaukee a shot yesterday.
The ice was about 18” where we checked, a bit of slush on top. Very sailable!
BUT…. Not a bit of breeze. Apart from one or two “sucker puffs” there was nada.
Ah well, it was good to hang out and socialize a bit and we got to see Sean break out his summer wardrobe (you have to admit he’s got the legs for it) and the passing birds made good use of the mastheads!

2025 DN World Championship Kicks Off in Fond du Lac – DN North America
https://www.idniyra.org/2025-dn-world-championship-kicks-off-in-fond-du-lac/
Hey Gang- the big show starts today! Keep an eye on IDNIYRA site for updates
DN WORLDS AND NA CHAMPS ARE ON!
Hey Gang-
Looks like we are good to go west for the big show; Load ’em up and hit the road!
Look forward to seeing everyone out there. Still time to sign up if you haven’t yet! See the IDNIYRA site for more information.
NE DN CHAMPS DONE!
Hey Gang-
It was a good day all around on South Watuppa as all manner of craft were out and about (Whizzes, Skimmers, and some other miscellaneous craft) including a dozen or so DNs racing for the NE Regional Championship!
West winds made for big shifts and well-defined puffs so heads-up sailing was the order of the day. The mental game was one of not getting upset when the other boats had the puffs or lifts; In those conditions it’s important to remember that the boats in front of you will likely also draw a short straw at some point in the race….
We all owe a huge round of applause to Nina Fleming for once again tabulating the scores in real time from her house in Maine and to George Williams for making the ultimate sacrifice of not sailing his own boat on a great day in order to start races, run races, keep score of the races, finish the races, and make sure the rest of us got to play!
Full results below but in 5th was The Man From Nantucket, Chris Gordon with 22 points. 4Th was claimed by The Terror Of Swan Island, Jeff Roseberry. In 3rd was the man with the best hair in the NEIYA, Paul Chamberland. In a close second was Karen The Red Baron Binder. 1st was claimed (barely) by James “T” Thieler (insert your own funny nickname here).
Over the course of six races several people had moments of glory and some great, fast downwind legs!
Results here:

Thanks to all for showing up; There will be some scratch racing at the same place tomorrow for anyone who wants to show up.
Next up, Gold Cup and North American champs; See IDNIYRA site for details!

2025 DN Eastern Region Championship Results!
The first Eastern Regional Champs in way too long are in the books! Five races Saturday were followed by one Sunday morning; she’ll ice for some rain Saturday night was cause for concern so we decided not to press our luck. Plus a big weather event is coming and we figured it would be a good idea to give everyone a head start for the trip home….
Good racing was had throughout the fleet; several relatively new sailors are coming on strong and putting the time in!
Karen Binder took third by one point after being cautious and sitting out the final race. Paul Chamberland squeaked ahead by one point to take second and Chad Atkins had the afterburners on and took first.
Congrats to Chad and all the competitors!
Thanks to everyone who helped schlep the gear around, thanks to Nina Fleming for tabulating the scores off site, and of course a big thanks to Deb Whitehorse for making sure we had SI’s, an NOR, and for all she does to keep this freak show of a class on the rails!
