Our club is fortunate to know photographers who understand the sport of
ice boating. Some of the names you will see credited are Craig Wilson who dangles
his camera from a kite for a unique view from atop the masts; David
Travis, a Nite and Skeeter sailor, who knows a thing or two about the art
of photography and is the curator for the Museum of Photography at the Art
Institute of Chicago; Geoff Sobering who is often seen with his DN parked
at the weather mark waiting for that great shot of a mark rounding; Ron Rosten, a long time ice boater who translates his knowledge of the
sport into great photos; Renegader Tim Stanton, who shoots some of the
sharpest 35 mm photos around; and Grant Frautschi, an avid sailor who
never forgets to bring his digital camera.

RED BANK — It may be cold and breezy, but it's just the weather needed to
draw some sailors out of hibernation.
For the first time in two years, the Shrewsbury Ice Boat and Yacht Club
members have what they need to run their National Sweepstakes Regatta — a
clear crisp day ensuring below-freezing temperatures and winds measuring
15 to 20 knots.
