Keeping the sport alive

Here’s the cover of this issue if Boathouse News from the New Hampshire Boat Museum with its new location in Moultonboro, NH.

I had the pleasure of restoring this wonderful old boat for the museum and it was used in last seasons ice boating display which included this one, a vintage DN, a Skimmer, and an ice Opti. I’d love to see a permanent section of the museum devoted to Iceboating.

Currently closed for the season and renovations, but will open in May. It’s really a treat to see the displays of boating in New Hampshire.

    Interesting and beautiful design. Can you post the history? Seems it has the plank beyond the runner, that was a development to slide sideways in a big hike instead of tipping over ?
