Fast Piece of Furniture: sailing America’s first 15-meter ice boat

A shakedown romp on Bill Buchholz’s new 15 meter class iceboat. This design, raced for years in isolation behind the Iron Curtain, finally comes to America in Bill’s exquisite craftsmanship. Sail and plans (and video music) came from Estonia, on the Baltic Sea. Ice and wind, courtesy of Chickawaukie Lake, Rockport, Maine, January 21, 2013.
