ice-boat
Wind-driven winter craft
An ice-boat is a lightweight craft with runners or blades that glides over frozen lakes or rivers, propelled by sails or sometimes an engine.
The design minimizes friction, allowing remarkable speeds on smooth ice.
Also called an iceboat or ice yacht.
We took the ice-boat out when the lake froze solid.
