Ice sailing is best suited for rock hard, black, bare ice with no air bubbles in its structure. Those are the fastest ice conditions for our sport. Bare, black ice with a very thin water layer on top is even faster. Any snow-covered ice sheet will be a much slower surface although imperfect or dimpled ice can yield somewhat faster conditions with a light dusting of snow as it helps fill in the low spots & makes for a more uniform surface. Snow machines are unable to get much grip (even with studded tracks) on the ice I'm describing. Think hockey rink ice (hard & smooth) and you'd be spot on for what we seek. These boats can reach speeds 3-4 times the actual wind speed with good ice. 45-60mph is not unusual, and the larger "boats" (a loosely used term) can easily reach speeds in excess of 80mph. Not bad using only a sail, razor sharp runner blades, and of course - there are no brakes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arrow#422 Posted December 20, 2019 Author Share Posted December 20, 2019 "Bubble boats" like these really test the boundaries of physics with their top notch aerodynamics & speed capabilities. The enclosed cockpit on this one is a plus as it can incorporate heat, music, and even GPS for the larger lakes. Like anything else, how fast do you want to go & how deep are your pockets?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC39693 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I know we all love Bose (and Samsung) audio equipment so I thought you should all know about this deal, in Calgary Kijiji ... Samsung ear buds and Bose ear buds $100,150.00 Perhaps an incorrect use of a comma? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been wrapped in solid oak, and a very, very nice job at that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arrow#422 Posted February 25, 2020 Author Share Posted February 25, 2020 Agree fully on the oak wrap. TH = theater SR = surround 70 = horn (700hz?) any other differing internals we should be aware of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
