Nite #113, complete package located in Madison WI.
Includes: Original runners, boom, plank and springboard in great shape. Replacement mast sourced through Bill Mattison – Was told it’s a Sitka mast, came un-finished and only partially shaped when I bought it and was completed in my shop in 2016. Sailed only a few times. New – never used Sailcrafters Nite AP sail as well as a good condition Inland sail. Custom built aluminum trailer with fiberglass storage box (lockable). Trailer is very light and easy to tow, easy to push out on the ice. Only 4 foot wide so it packs in the garage easy. New Harken seat cover and full boat cover. Full mast and plank covers. This boat was rarely used throughout its life, last sailed in 2017 and in storage since. This is a great boat, complete package ready to go. More photos available on request. Madison, WI
Asking $7500

Boe-Craft B Skeeter
Jack in the Green – Formerly Rumrunner
Rebuilt in 2008.
Comes with a painted mast tuned to match the original spar by Paul Krueger.
On trailer with new wheels and tires, welded aluminum box. Low bunks for easy lifting.
Since rebuild sailed just in 2010 season in the NIYA Regatta and the Boecraft Championship. Won both events.
Sold with a competitive Henry Bossett sail, so no need for a $2000 upgrade.
The boat has been stored inside my shop as a spare. Never been outside or wet since the 2010 Boecraft Championship.
This boat won ISA B championships sailed by Skip Wadewitz, John Eck and Steve Schalk.
Time for it to go back into competition with a new owner.

Most of us in Wisconsin are indoors today. Maybe you are in the shop working on runners, watching the weather, and waiting for the first sailable ice. It is a good moment to brush up on the racing rules. A little time now pays off later when the lake fills with boats and the pace picks up.
Cold air is settling in and much of the state is expecting up to ten inches of snow. The snow will help lock in the cold. Good news for ice making.
The Skeeter Iceboat Club has a set of short rule review videos on YouTube worth watching before the season starts.

2025 NOTICE OF RACE
ISA HOME PAGE
Via ISA Secretary/Treasurer Steve Schalk:
The ISA & Renegade Championship Race Committee is cranking back up to find the location for the postponed 2025 ISA. The conference calls restart on November 30th. There is a cold front moving through Minnesota as I write this, with none of the sites yet frozen, so the current snow is just falling in open water. The following cold will close up the lakes and allow for the search to begin. Minnewaska and Battle Lakes are favored sites with their launch facilities.
The ISA Race Chairman believes that it should be possible for a DN Western Challenge by December 5th, with the two following weekends available for the ISA. Of course the weather will dictate the outcome. We will post Sunday 7 pm updates starting November 30th.
