We are happy to announce that the NoR docs are published and registration open for:
There is a front coming over on Wed-Thu bringing extensive amounts of snow to the areas where we might possibly have ice. We see the probability to succeed way too low and will call the event off.
At the same time we are happy to announce that organizing activities for wk47 event will be started immediately. The temperatures are dropping day-by-day. There will be new ice forming on the south side of the expected snow fall area. Vaala/Painuanlahti might be a potential venue. Please be prepared for Johnny Köhler Cup on Friday Nov21 and an extra ranking regatta on Sat-Sun Nov22-23. Notice of Race to be published and registration opened early next week.
Please stay tuned for wk47!

After an exceptionally warm autumn, the forecast finally shows freezing weather starting next weekend. We are not sure if it will be early and cold enough to enable week46 event to be raced. There is hope and fair chance. We are following the progress with a positive mind set. The primary options are Onkamojärvi@Salla and Jerisjärvi@Muonio.
As earlier announced, the possible cancellation will be called earliest on Sunday Nov 9th. Official location announcement to be published according to NoR latest on Wednesday 22:00.
Thanks to note that we do not have reserve dates for week46 event. Instead of that our national ranking rule allows and encourage to arrange extra ranking regattas – 2 per season. Nov 22-23 or 29-30 might be a good candidate to be considered if we’d miss week46 event this time.
Please note that it has been reported by the DN Sweden fleet that there is likely to be sailable ice in Sautusjärvi, Kiruna, Sweden. In case wk46 can not be sailed there will probably be sailors on ice. No big plans yet, but some kind of regatta might be arranged.
