Dear Friends,

these days, those of us, who haven’t been for long in this sport learned more about the good old times of Iceboating and the guys, who introduced it to Europe. Skip and his Family hosted and sponsored Iceboaters from the US and Europe for all their life. e.g. Andreas Bock G 624 got all the support in sails from Skip and so did last winter 19 Year old Merili Randmaa C46 from Estonia. She won the silver qualifier with a sponsored sail from Skip. Being that successful in Madison she got offered one of very few 470 boats to race with and became a few weeks ago the Junior World Champion in this class. She’ll never forget Skip and she was amazed by his knowledge about sails and how he put it into cloth.
