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.

Via Nite Commodore Maureen Bohleber:
Nite Nationals has been postponed to January 25-26, 2025 Unfortunately due to extremely low temperatures on Sunday January 19th we have postponed the 2025 Nite Nationals until Jan. 25-26, 2025. Our next report will be Sunday night, January 19th.
Via Northwest Ice Yachting Association Secretary/Treasurer Steve Schalk:
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.
Nite Nationals has been Tentatively Called ON for January 18-19, 2025 Our forecast shows promise therefore the Nite Board has decided to Tentatively Call on the 2025 Nite National Championship for possible locations at Neenah (Lake Winnebago), Madison or Lake Geneva.
We are continually watching the weather patterns and we will make the final call by 8pm Wednesday. At that time we will provide further launch, hotel and regatta details.
