2009 in Latvia!

Greetings WISSA Web site visitor.

The 2009 WISSA Ice and Snow Sailing World Championships will be held in Latvia. To help get you excited, here is a link with information about this fascinating and exotic destination: www.youwontbelieveit.eu

Of interest to ice only sailors, the organizers plan to host a special "short track" race course for ice boards. This will be a first for a WISSA W.C. and should be very interesting. A WISSA 2009 web site is under construction and will be linked to this site.

Think Ice.
