Nite Nationals called ON for February 3-4.
Via the International Nite Iceboat Association Website:
Several boats sailed a large sheet of ice on Lake Mendota today (1-28). Though the ice had a fresh 1/2″ of snow, it checked out fine. We’ll watch to be sure it doesn’t turn stiff.
Keep up to date by visiting the Nite website.

Planers and sanders are making dust as iceboat parts are being produced in shops around the Four Lakes region. After a trip to McCormick Lumber yesterday for some Sitka Spruce, the guys at the Belle Isle Boatworks – Stanton Campus began working on a new Nite plank for Lars Barber.
Via the International Nite Iceboat Association Secretary, John Hayashi:
Hey, Four Lakes Nite sailors we want you!
On Thursday November 9th we are meeting out at Springer’s for a night of Nites. Starting at 7pm we are going to do some dinner and drinks and discuss getting ready for the 2017-18 season. If you have a Nite come join us, if you had a Nite come join as well, if you are looking for one come as well. This is a great opportunity to get questions answered about your boat tuning, where to race this winter, and any questions you might have. If you are a 4LIYC member you are welcome as well.
