Nite Nationals called ON for February 3-4.
Via the International Nite Iceboat Association Website:
Several boats sailed a large sheet of ice on Lake Mendota today (1-28). Though the ice had a fresh 1/2″ of snow, it checked out fine. We’ll watch to be sure it doesn’t turn stiff.
Keep up to date by visiting the Nite website.

The International Skeeter Association championship has been postponed. There are multiple lakes with club racing venues but ramps are all questionable at this time. Tune up and be set for a great championship!
Next update, February 4, 2018.
