Received word from NIYA Secretary Steve Schalk as we left the ice today that the 2026 Northwest Ice Yacht Association regatta is tentatively called on for Green Lake, Wisconsin, FEBRUARY 6–8.
The Northwest Ice Yacht Association regatta was first sailed in 1913 as a Stern steerer event and remains one today, with Stern Steerers at its core and the addition of A, B, and C Skeeters, Renegades, and the DN class.

The Nite Nationals are tentatively called on, also at Green Lake.
Final confirmation for both events will be posted Wednesday, February 4.
Nite-specific details are available on the Nite website. LINK
Green Lake has strong ice and clean sailing right now. These windows do not last. If you want good conditions, this is the moment to use them.
More photos and reports from the DN North Americans and the ISA are coming tomorrow.
