Via International Skeeter Association Secretary/Treasurer Steve Schalk:
The International Race Committee has reviewed the current conditions and forecasts and determined that the Minnesota race venues are out due to temperatures in single digits and coming snow depths. Without other options and the arrival of the holidays, the decision has been made to let 2025 go. We are back up and pointing next to January 9th 2026 for the first day of the 2026 Championship. Next update: Sunday, January 4, 2026.

The Four Lakes Ice Yacht Club meets tonight at Breakwater in Monona. The meeting begins at 6:30.
Breakwater has been good to our club. Let’s return the favor. Come a little early, have dinner, enjoy a drink, and support the place that supports us.
Winter switched on right after Thanksgiving and it won’t be long before we’re on home ice. Many club members are heading to Lake Minnewaska in Minnesota for the DN Western Challenge this weekend. There will be ice!

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.
$12,000
$11,000
