Regatta Watch: Nite Nationals Called ON for Madison Feb 3-4

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.

Making Nite Dust

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.
