There are several locations around the globe which provide good conditions for a speed record challenge. The initial testing of the Windjet ice variant was conducted in Alberta, Canada, where the reliable, strong and warm Chinook winds prevail, however finding the combination of smooth, snow-free ice, combined with strong reliable winds is the hardest challenge the Windjet team have to face.

We always welcome suggestions from other ice sailors as to other potential record locations.

One of the best locations apears to be Canyon Ferry in Montana, USA. This area, like Alberta is on the east side of the rockies and therefore has below average snowfall. For high speed ice sailing, it is essential to have a snow free surface.
