Sailing Stockbridge Bowl February 17

 A beautiful small lake in the Berkshires.  Stockbridge Bowl, just north of Stockbridge was the only good ice within a relatively short drive from the mid Hudson Region. 

A few boats sailed this weekend. Frank Wall had his Arrow. William debuted his small foldable stern Steerer. This came from the Rusty Welchman collection that Bob Wills acquired several years back. It seeemed to sail around Greenwood Lake in the 1940s, I believe. William's friend Linden set up a DN. 

Emilie & Hal are planning on bringing Puff up today. 

First sail on the foldable.  A friend of Frank's welded a tiller post and steering chock.

An inch or so fell overnight Friday to Saturday. Brisk winds kept the boats moving.  We shared the ice with skaters & several groups of ice fishing folk.
