There will be race in Finland again! There is message from Feodor:

It will take place on Sat and Sun, Sat skipper’s meeting at 11 am, latest race start on Sun at 16:00. Max 12 starts, track, slalom or marathon. No limits on sail size or equipment. Contact Oskari Pääkkönen +358 400 600431 for more info.

Right now it is very warm there and snow is melting, expect pure ice race with sub-zero temperature and good wind. All the tough guys who couldn’t make it to Lahti will be there, so I go to chase them too
