Here is a brief report from Oliver Moore, NEIYC, who is competing in the 2014 DN Worlds in Estonia:

"Racing canceled today after one qualifier race that I think got protested because you couldn't see the weather mark. Deb Whitehorse is posting lots of updates on the IDNIYRA page for those who want to follow along at home."

Despite this update, now that the Sailors are on the ice I doubt we will hear much until the regatta is over.

Strip built, Laminated Ash / Spruce / Ash

My DN planks are made from Michigan White Ash skins, native to our area, over a white wood core (Spruce
or Pine). I use a strip construction because it creates repeatability of process and reduces the chance of
plank twist as the wood ages. This adds time and materials to the building process, but I feel it’s well worth
it versus the single-piece skins and core method. And I’ve never had a report of one of my planks twisting or failing yet.

The planks are constructed with West System epoxy and the areas between the chocks and the hull

I am gearing up for a runner build this summer & fall. The material will be 1/4" 440C. Side runners will be 40"x4-1/2", the front runner will be 32"x4-1/2". I plan on alligator style, but can also do a bull nose style. The edge will be 90 degree polished through 600 grit. The stiffeners will be 1/4" aluminum angle and I will be using HDPE for the DN style mounting bars. I expect the cost per set to be under $1500. Let me know if your interested in a set.
