Good morning from Cheboygan, Michigan, site of the DN U.S. Nationals. We are on 10,000 acres of hard ice on Black Lake,, a 20-minute drive from Cheboygan. The first day of the regatta had plenty of breeze and plenty of cold. We were able to bang off 10 races, 5 in each fleet. Looks like we’d best be prepared for another cold day but a lighter breeze. There are some drifts to be avoided but it’s totally raceable. This would make a great site for any type of future regatta as long as the lake effect snows stayed away.

Well bugger them, these Aussies are thinking about iceboating as they watch the ongoing America’s Cup. They dialed up Steve Orlebeke for a podcast episode about inland sailing and iceboating. “Bar Karate is a new sailing podcast. You might learn nothing, but you will have fun doing it.” Listen here.

SOLD! Arrow #182 w/open trailer
Originally bought as a parts donor, but my heart wouldn’t let me scrap her, so the hull’s been recently rehabilitated and is ready to sail.
Won’t win a beauty pageant, but would make a great second boat for giving 1st timers a thrill, or building beginners confidence for solo skippering.
Original spars, sail, and plank, with freshly sharpened runners.
Currently rigged and can be sailed from my yard if weather permits.
Located in Columbiaville, MI
$1200 OBO
