Title: Worlds and North Americans, a great experience Post by: DN 805 on February 25, 2007, 10:50:57 AM I want to extend my sincere appreciation to everyone involved for a wonderful 2007 Worlds and North American championship week. The Central Rear Commodore, Dave Zoll and his committee members; the DN Governing Committee led by Commodore John Harper; the ice checkers; Mike Derusha, who marked pressure ridges and carried boats across; Bill Van Gee and his race committee team; scorers Debbie Parker and Loretta Rehe; protest committee members Bob Pegel, Meade Gougeon, and Doug Harvey; and all the sailors who assisted me in crossing the pressure ridges.
This is my 60th season of iceboating, 51st season in a DN. Looking forward to the 2008 championship.

These regatta's were awesome because of all the hard work by the volunteers, officers and especially the scorers and race committee. Also a big thank you to mother nature.
Thank You all. See you next time.

Definitely the best event I've done in a long time. In fact I have yet to hear anything but rave reviews from all the participants I've talked with. For my own part it is April 9 and I'm still fired up about it!
Many, many thanks to everyone who made it possible. Your efforts are not unappreciated. Looking forward to next year already! Best, T Thieler DN US 5224 Title: Re: Worlds and North Americans, a great experience Post by: MATT STRUBLE on June 04, 2007, 08:51:42 PM It is amazing, there is a cold front coming through the Great Lakes and It makes me think of ice boating. What a great sport, it is as fun to think about as to participate in. A huge thanks to the organizors and all of the people that make these events possible for all of us.
