Due to potential snow on Sunday the producer(film guy) will be coming in on Friday night and we will start the filming on Saturday. The correspondent, Ginger Zee, will be out on Monday.

Let's aim to start the first of the races at around noon on Saturday.

I will be organizing with the producer on Saturday morning. For the time being he and I will be meeting at Harry's.

Things should just happen naturally.

If Sunday looks nice we will also be filming.

UPDATE:

I have just gotten off the phone with the producers at ABC News GMA Weekend Edition. They are looking at coming to Minnetonka on Sunday(22nd) and Monday(23rd). Sunday would be filming the racing and iceboats sailing around as well as few sound bites. Monday would be sailing with the correspondent which I will arrange on the side. If you are around and can sail on Monday, please feel free to come out.

Saturday we should get out on the ice as well. Let's do some races. I am volunteering my time to do whatever is necessary to ensure that the shoot tells are really great story.

*PRICE DROP* 1550$ for the complete boat minus runners, or 450$ for the hull, plank, mast, sail, minus the DN hardware.
My son is too old for this boat now, and he has been hogging all my DN time, The Opti I built for him in 2008 is for sale. Nice boat that sails beautifully, Natural Cedar sided finish with a painted deck and plank.

Looks like a fast day to be riding in the jump seat..

oh yeah, and the mast comes down at 3:35.. they had a spare shackle..

Here's the Registration list for the 2012 North Americans

The 2012 International Skeeter Association (ISA) regatta, and IRIYA Championship Regatta, and Northwest Ice Yacht Racing Association regatta have been postponed to January 27,28,29, 2012. Check the hotline
(608-204-9876) or iceboat.org for the next update on Sunday, January 22, 2012.

Looks like this will conflict with the ABC filming on Minnetonka the 28th & 29th.. All the big boats will be going to the Northwest Ice Yacht Racing Association regatta.

self labeled overly dramatic iceboating video.. but it's good.. and a lot of the iceboating is from this season in Minnesota.
I guess it's video monday.

Our P155 friend out for a practice rip... breaks the mast..

That looks pretty sweeeeet...

Greetings fellow Iceboaters,

A few weeks ago I got a call from ABC News regarding Iceboating on Minnetonka, and spot to be featured on Good Morning America's Weekend Edition. The details are still coming together and will be finalized mid-week. I have been organizing this with a few iceboaters to make sure we have some key pieces covered.

Hello,

I've got the site upgraded. I'm in the process of updating the rest of the functionality of the site.

The core is updated and you can update your user info at least.

more to follow..

I have a nice set of 3 Angle Runners, hard rock maple bodies and 316L Stainless Steel Blades, with Brake and a bit shabby 3 runner carry bag for sale, $700.00 OBO I'd planned on never selling these, as they've been very very good to me in a number of races.

Also a nice but used Sequel Mast Cover. $50.00 obo

I'll have them with me on the ice or call or email for pics, (I can't seem to upload images).
