As Secretary/Treasurer of the North American DN Class, one of my ongoing projects is publishing the class newsletter Runner Tracks. The September issue is now online and I think it is worth sharing with all ice sailors. Inside you’ll find an in-depth rules discussion on leeward mark roundings, along with a wide-ranging interview with DN World Champion Matt Struble, who admits, surprisingly, that he doesn’t like the cold.

2019 February Runner Tracks
The February issue of the DN newsletter, Runner Tracks, has just been published over at the DN class website. Besides some excellent photography, this mid-season issue has a couple of articles that may be of interest to those involved with the race committee end of things. IDNIYRA Commodore Warren Nethercote’s article about the DN tiebreak system also includes information about how Steve and Mary Jane Schalk deal with tiebreaks in other classes. If you want to get a handle on the Bart scoring system, read Loretta Sherry Rehe and Paul Goodwin’s article that explains Bart scoring (also known as Grand Prix scoring, or Indy 500 scoring as I call it. When the checkered flag goes up at the Indy 500, all cars finish no matter what lap they are on.)
