This concludes the broadcast season of the Minnesota Ice Sailing Association...
Sailors in Minnesota enjoyed a most delightful second season, the month of March on the ice, Calhoun and Minnetonka were extraordinary venues, capped off with a wonderful 12 gusting 20 day on ice that most people found best with Inserts over Angle, big rips, a dozen or more races, and much more.
This concludes the broadcast season of the Minnesota Ice Sailing Association...
Please join us again next season, beginning December 3,4,5 for a new standard of excellence at the Great Western Challenge Regatta. The epic search for perfect ice, and a celebration of the beginning of the new season.
The DN Worlds are in North America, it'll be a great event to get everything up to speed...
Until then keep your feet dry.

IMHO, those guys were in danger by sailing that early, the lake could freeze at any moment!
was a great ending except for one more broken mast!
sailed 7 days out of the last 9. sat, sun, mon, thurs, fri, sat & sun 3/28. 3 of them in big winds and "fairly" hard ice. wonder why the mast broke. actually design flaw at 8'+. really, i wasn't hikng out. i can break them in the boat now. but making progress now with them breaking that high up vs 6'+. they sure go good with that high bend. need another layer of markham's bi-carb to keep wall from collapsing. have one more new one to modify yet. so that makes 3 broken masts this yr (9.5', 9', 8', 8'), but one two times at 9.5 and 8'+.
ya xxxxx
math?
(9.5', 9', 8', 8') isn't that four failures, not three?
