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

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.
