2025 NOTICE OF RACE

Via ISA Secretary/Treasurer Steve Schalk:

The ISA & Renegade Championship Race Committee is cranking back up to find the location for the postponed 2025 ISA. The conference calls restart on November 30th. There is a cold front moving through Minnesota as I write this, with none of the sites yet frozen, so the current snow is just falling in open water. The following cold will close up the lakes and allow for the search to begin. Minnewaska and Battle Lakes are favored sites with their launch facilities.

The ISA Race Chairman believes that it should be possible for a DN Western Challenge by December 5th, with the two following weekends available for the ISA. Of course the weather will dictate the outcome. We will post Sunday 7 pm updates starting November 30th.

He’s done it again. DN sailor Paul Chamberland is first on the ice in North America, just as he was on November 22, 2023. He’s back on Owlseye Lake while visiting family near his home town of St. Paul, Alberta. This time Paul brought a crew of family and friends, and they spent the day taking turns on the two DNs he hauled north.

A strong start to the season, with temperatures forecasted to drop toward in the Four Lakes region which will help bring ice.
