Week46 Event Complete

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.
