iceboating
Blades on ice
Iceboating is the sport or recreational activity of sailing a boat-like craft mounted on runners across a frozen lake or other ice surface.
The vessels, called iceboats, use sails to harness wind power and can reach remarkable speeds due to minimal friction between the metal runners and ice.
Iceboating enthusiasts wait eagerly for lakes to freeze solid each winter.
The activity requires both sailing skills and ice conditions thick enough to support the craft safely.
