While Grand Masters gathered to Säkylä, there was a cheerful group of ice sailors having fun at Kajaanselkä, Vesijärvi.
A nice almost 50 nm cruise on Saturday and a regatta on Sunday. Plenty of happy faces even though it was rather wet and chilly.
Results of the Lahti Ranking Regatta. Good to note that it is not counted in as an official ranking regatta due to the fact that the number of participants was 9 (less than 10).
NoR published and registration open!
DN Lahti chapter kutsuu Kelluvan Ranking kisan ensi sunnuntaille! Suunnitelmissa myös Retki lauantaina esim. Vääksy-Lahti-Vääksy. Edullinen majoitus Aurinkorannan mökeissä. Kilpailupaikka julkaistaan viimeistään torstaina klo 22.
Valitettavasti purjehdittavaa jäätä ei ole ja Kahakka Ranking joudutaan perumaan.
Unfortunately there is no suitable ice to sail. We have to cancel Kahakka Ranking.
It is under consideration if an extra ranking regatta could be arranged on Jan 18-19 or Jan 25-26 or even both. Stay tuned!
We are sorry to note that the planned extra regatta is cancelled. The snow fall during the past 24 hours fouled all the areas we were monitoring. Snow cover combined with light wind forecasts is a combination that just would not work.
Next DN event in Finland is Kahakka Ranking, Jan 11.-12. Welcome!
Kahakka Ranking 2025, January 11-12. Organized by Karleby Isseglare and DN Finland.
NoR is published and registration open.
Itsenäisyysregatta was sailed in perfect conditions. International fleet and very high level of competition. Winner P36 Karol Jablonski. 2nd C20 Rasmus Maalinn. 3rd P254 Rafal Sielicki.
Good ice, almost snow free. Wind 3-5 m/s, gusts 6-7 m/s. Sunday offered a bit lighter winds than Saturday.

Painuanlahti on Thursday morning
Suomen Purjehdus ja Veneily piti viikonloppuna pääkokouksensa ja julkisti siinä yhteydessä vuoden valinnat. Vuoden luokkaliittona palkittiin Suomen DN Jääpursiliitto ry.
Palkinnon perusteluissa mainittiin liiton lisääntynyt aktiivisuus ja toiminnan tason nosto. Tällä viitattiin myös tulossa oleviin EM-kilpailuihin.
DN Finland was awarded by SPV (national sailing federation) for being the sailing class of the year. We are proud. The award was handed to our chairman/commodore Petri Pennanen.
NoR is available and registration open in manage2sail.com.
It is less than two weeks until it is time pack the gear again! Race dates are Dec 7-8. Itsenäisyysregatta is part of the Finnish Keisari Ranking series.
Itsenäisyysregatta will be sailed to celebrate and honor our 107 years of independence. DN Finland welcomes the whole DN icesailing community and friends to join this celebration.
The actual independence day is Friday Dec6th and it is a day off in Finland. Many of the sailors will get together already on Thursday or Friday morning for a proper tune up and practice.
Legendary Week 46 gathered ice sailors from all over Europe to Onkamojärvi, Salla, Finland for the very first icesailing event of the season globally. In total 30 dn sailors and two ice optimist sailors plus 3 organizers enjoyed the spectacular scenery. We had participants from Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Sweden and Finland. Some sailors arrived already on Wednesday morning and managed to sail 4 awesome days.
Johnny Köhler Cup was sailed on Friday with 4 conducted races on almost perfect 15cm black ice. All Saint’s Regatta was scheduled for Saturday and Sunday. However slow ice combined with very light winds did not give us an opportunity to sail on Sunday. On Saturday we did 6 races in rather wet conditions. Wednesday and Thursday were tune up and practice sailing all day – which is not very long at these latitudes… Nice thing was that our sailing days included almost all the different conditions with speeds exceeding 100km/h on Thursday and slower speeds during the weekend. We are sure that all the competitors also got to see more than enough reindeers wandering on the streets!
All Saints Regatta is part of Keisari Ranking. Keisari Ranking is supported by Nokian Panimo – a brewery that owns the beer brand Keisari.
We want to thank Onkamon Metsästysseura (the local hunting club) for letting us use the landing site facilities. Also big thanks for Jenni @Sallainen for all the hospitality and flexibility related to the accommodation arrangements.
Itsenäisyysregatta is in three weeks 7-8.12 and we hope we can get as big fleet as possible. We warmly welcome all our international guests to join. On Friday 6.12 is Finlands’ independence day so that is a holiday in Finland. Therefore Friday might gather a lot of sailors for practice and tune up. Whatsapp groups will be established for the registered sailors. Itsenäisyysregatta NoR and registration.
