ice yacht
Blade-mounted wind vessel
An ice yacht is a sailboat designed to travel over frozen lakes or rivers on runners or blades rather than floating on water.
Ice yachts can reach much higher speeds than conventional sailboats because of reduced friction: The ice yacht skimmed across the frozen lake at sixty miles per hour.
Also called an iceboat.
