Sunday at Stockbridge Bowl. Light winds and softening ice led to most sailors to disassemble and head home. A few DNs and Puff had some brief sailing on fickle and unpredictable breezes. I had a 60 second tack across the ice and then mostly pushed back. It was a wonderful weekend with upwards of 24 boats on the ice: Old stern steerers, DNs, a nite, several Arrows, a small skeeter, skate sails.
A lot of area folks came down to see the spectacle. This appears to be the first time there has been a crowd of iceboats on this ice. HRIYC sailor Frank Wall has sailed the Bowl on and off over the last 5 years & was so pleased to see the number of boats on the ice. Looking forward to next season.
