Class History
Regatta Records
Continental Regatta Records
IDNIYRA and IDNIYRA Europe use a seeding system for continental regattas by fleet ranking using regatta results from the previous two Gold Cups, North American Championships and European Championships. Rankings are calculated from the sailor’s best finish from the last two regattas.
The North American Championship, formerly known as the Annual Regatta, has been sailed each year since 1953. The first North American Championship took place on Cass Lake in Michigan.
The Gold Cup World DN Championship sailed alternate years in North America and Europe, has become the most prestigious regatta in iceboat racing. European and North American DN Class officials formulated the World DN Championship at a meeting held in Sweden during the 1972 Europameisterschaft.
The first European Championship took place in 1966 in Neusiedl, Austria.
