The scores for the 2024 Wisconsin Stern Steerers Association Regatta are now available! Check out the results here and see how the competition unfolded. Thank you to all the sailors, organizers, and volunteers who made this regatta a success.
Note: Although the regatta was sailed in 2025, the WSSA decided to consider it a 2024 regatta. This decision gives the class another opportunity to hold a regatta this year with the exceptional ice conditions we’re experiencing.

The 2025 Northwestern Ice Yachting Association Race Committee has postponed one week to January 24th, 25th and 26th. The likely site will be on Lake Winnebago at the best possible of several locations.
The morning check by Andy Gratton found the snow conditions ok for most but not DNs. (Styrofoam snow) The forecast eliminates Sunday due to low temperatures and the Friday wind and temperature forecasts show a possible softening of the snow , but a likely blow-out of excessive wind gusts.
The forecast is looking good for multiple options on January 24th. The next NIYA Update is Sunday January 19th after 7 pm.
