Ice Sailing on Lake Winnipesaukee
Sunday, February 21st, 2010Several Sundays ago I was sent up north to Lake Winnipesaukee in search of ice sailing, or ice yachting. After driving to a few of the frozen coves, I finally found some ice boats.
In order to get the boat moving the participants need a little luck on their side. First and foremost, they need clean ice, free of snow. Which, in New England, can be very difficult during the winter months. Second, the sailors need wind.
There was plenty of snow-free ice the day I went out, however, the wind was lacking. It would come and go and the sailors would get ready to sail and then it would die down. For more information click HERE
