I need to grab some more footage in the next few weeks, so if anybody is going sailing please e-mail me and let me know. I don't know what the ice is like due to a) the 30 feet of snow we got and b) the 60 degree weather we have now but if your going sailing let me know when and where.

thanks

the good rev.

Does anyone know if any places in/around the Twin Cities rent out ice surfing equipment? I'd love to try before I buy.

I've just learned about icesurfing...I live out in Hudson, and Lake St. Croix looks like a perfect playground.

I'm looking to restore/rebuild a couple old DN's to involve some high school students in my youth group...We would love anything to get us on the ice. My cell is 574-528-0272 or email dhilbish828@yahoo.com. I'm in Northern IN. Thanks

I just spoke with a gentleman who was in Duluth this past Sunday, He said the ice was clear as far as the eye could see. I'm hoping He's not blind, the webcam doesn't look that great.
Can anyone confirm this? Would be great to have another chance to go sailing yet this year, Duluth is only a couple of hours away from Mpls. Are there any other locations that have survived the latest rath of mother natures massive snowfall?

A while back JD posted a repair technique for fixing cracked sideboard using shop vac to suck epoxy through crack. Could someone repost or post link.
I beleive the fix required placing paper towel over crack on one side covered with plastic .and placing epoxy on oposite side , sliting plastic and using shop vac to suck epoxy through showing wetting in paper towel?
Any help would be appreciated

See ya on the ice

The final results from the 2007 IDNIYRA North American Championship are are posted on idniyra.org.

The National DN page is having some issue, but the results are available on a German page.

Gold Fleet, Silver Fleet, & Bronze Fleet

Congrats to JD on his 5th place finish. Also congrats to Adam Koller on his 3rd in the bronze at his first World Championships. Looks like Pat Hutner had a slow start, but came on strong

Hi--was wondering if anybody will be selling DNs/Equipment after the DN Worlds--I will be down sailing (From Escanaba) on Saturday. Thanks!

The Nite Nationals were held last weekend sandwiched between the Northwest Regatta and the DN worlds. It was a rare event with nearly 200 boats in six different classes sharing a sheet of ice that was, (sorry about this) EPIC. Three different courses all sailing at the same time.

The winds both days were about 15 mph gusting into the 20's. Terry Erwin of Minnetonka fought it out for the championship only to fall a few points back of the eventual winner, Tom Sweitzer of Pewaukee. Scott Brown was third, and Tom Nordlie fourth, both from Minnetonka.

But the big news of the weekend was the participation of the gang from Bald Eagle Lake lead by Tom Austin. For their first regatta, they sailed extremely well. It was the talk of the annual meeting Saturday night.

Looking to buy a set of slush runners for a DN. Please contact Ben Shaevitz at basmoss1 at hotmail.com if you have a set to sell or know somebody who does. thank you

Do any of u know of a mast for sail.... broke my old wood one and now I'm lookin' for a new one!?

From Dave Zoll's DN-America Forum posting:

The Menominee Ice has been sailed and is rated awesome! 12 inches clear ice for miles. Drive on access about 6 miles northeast of Menominee, Michigan.

Steve Orlebeke told me it is the best big ice he has ever seen. Mike (Not Dave!) Derosha is in the running for ice scout of the year, thanks Mike!

Final call still will be tomorrow (Wed. night) at 9 pm. Hotel info pending.

Oh yeah, and the Northwest regatta will be Friday-Sunday...
