iceboating.net Minnesota Ice Sailing Association

I am new to this site and live in Colorado. I just completed my iceboat up at my Dad's in Minnesota, a homemade DN, with a retrofitted mast from a Hobie Cat. She had one inaugural run, but side slipped terribly in the wind, and the winds in CO are incredibly intense.

I was given some old runners from a boater in South Dakota, but they are terribly dull.

Is there anything that describes how to sharpen them and at what angles/inclination and what edges get sharpened. I'm a little confused on how to do this, but want to do it myself. I have a shop grinder, but could also make a jig and use my belt sander. If anything could point me to pictures or visuals, that would be great. I am also interested in buying some runners for her if anyone knows of sources.
