Get Your Gear Ready

This is your go-to Northeast gathering for all things ice sailing, whether you are a novice or a seasoned pro. From masts and sails to planks and runners, come gear up and go faster. If you live outside the Northeast, it’s a great excuse for a road trip. Shout out to NJ, the Hudson Valley, the Adirondacks and everyone to the west. There is a prize for whoever travels the farthest.Don’t wait for Sunday to start getting ready. Drag your gear out, set it up in the driveway, and make sure you have everything. Have extras in storage? Bring them to sell, trade or give away, or post them in the classifieds. Your older equipment may be better than what someone else has now.

New Members, Say Hello

To all of our newly signed-up members: welcome aboard! Please reach out, or find me on Sunday, so we can introduce you to people in your area. Iceboating is about the people, and there’s nothing like having a local crew to call when the ice makes.All are welcome, and the meeting is open to everyone, not just members. If you’ve always wanted to try iceboating, this is the place to start.

Till then,
