I decided to try a jibe. Because the sail sits behind the driver, weight distribution is equal on all three runners producing handling characteristics car designers would envy. I had no trouble keeping up with traffic. As one becomes more proficient, it is easy to 'fly a hull' similar to sailing a catamaran. Traveling for long distances on two runners is very exciting and very controllable with practice.
Construction consists of a fiberglass body connected to wooden laminate beams.
The front beam and the rear plank are wrapped in glass for additional strength. With a quick release rear cross plank, the Ice Flyer easily fits inside a van or on a car rack.
