The scouting teams are currently focusing the efforts to Säkylä and Hanko. Other locations are being followed in the background.
There have been already some sailors on ice at Hanko – reporting ice good for sailing. Sailors will be on ice at Säkylä latest Thursday – but according to the local contacts the ice appears good there as well.
The organizing committees will keep on following the weather forecasts and conditions very closely. It is rather warm week ahead of us.

Kisa raportti: 3. KAHAKKA ranking, Keisari ranking:n osakilpailu,
Klamila Hellitöksenselkä 13. – 14.1.
Karleby Isseglare KIS kilpailun järjestäjät:
Ensin alkuviikosta etsittiin jäätä Kokkolan suunnalta ja se vaikutti aivan suorastaan maagiselta saatujen kuvien ja videoiden perusteella.
Mutta valitettavasti ei nyt päästy KIS:n koti jäille lumisateen ja jäiden rikkoutumisen takia.
Stten suuren ja tarkan kilpailupaikan metsästyksen jälkeen. Lähtivät Osmo L-149 ja Rudy L-151 torstai aamuna tsekkaamaan jään Klamilaan. Saimme todella hyvän raportin kuvineen ja videoineen. Kiitos heille.
Vielä kun landaus ja majoitus paikat löytyivät helposti, kiitos; Oscar L-132, Kimmo L-147, Teemu L-137 (vaikkei viimeinen ollut kisaamassakaan)
Majapaikkana ollut Loma Nääveri:n mökit oli todella nopea ja joustava lyhyellä varoitus ajalla 20lle purjehtijalle. Kiitos heille!
Landauspaikkana ollut kesämökin ranta ja piha saatiin myös käyttöön. Se toimi erittäin hyvin tähän tarkoitukseen. Kiitos siitä hänelle.
Itse kisat lauantaina kipparikokouksen jälkeen klo 10.00 saatiin käyntiin vasta kello 11,30 ja ensimmäisen kova tuulisen lähdön jälkeen saatiin ajettua kaikkiaan neljä starttia.
Yleisöä oli saapunut landaus paikalle, muttei jäälle asti.
Jää oli Suomen paras, lumeton ja ehkä hieman röpelöinen…
Sunnuntaina kipparikokous 09,00 ja päivän ensimmäinen startti aikataulun mukaan 10,00
Sunnuntaina saatiin viisi starttia purjehdittua huomattavasti kevyemmissä tuulissa.
Yleisöä saapui nyt jopa lähtölinjalle asti!
Huom. Matkaa landaus paikalta linnuntietä 4,5km
Mukana ennätykselliset kolme ensikertalaista! Linus, Jesse ja Simppu Huikeaa!
Sijoituksiakin tuli:
Palkinnot:
Refresco, Kinex, Hydsupply
KIS kiittää kaikkia mukana olleita ja kilpailua seuranneita. Tervetuloa ensivuonna uudestaan!
