How to Make and Sail One-The Speed

ICE YACHTING HAS BEEN A FAVOR
az ito winter sport on the Hudson rive1
4 since revolutionary times; but the
completeness and speed which ice boats
have reached are the results of the last half
century's improvements. The frat boats Of
this kind we're merely rough frames
mounted on skates, and the pastime was
originally enjoyed only by boys. In 1888
Edward Southwick, Of Po%ughkeepsie, built
the first ice yacht of any note in this conn
try, and lie followed the boys example by
fastening skates to ita timbers. Simon
Wheeler, also Of Poughkcepsie, constructed
an ice boat in 1916 with runners of pot
metal made expressly for it. Since then
improvements have boon made every year.
until now the runners are made of the I'm
cat polished steel, and the fastest bonts
frequently run ten miles in less than ten
minutes. s
With all the improvements in method Of
construction, the ground plan OF the ice
boat has not changed materially since its
earliest days. The basis is now, as it al
ways has been, a large wooden cross. made
Of substantial timbers.
The upper part OF the CROSS is the bow Of
the boat and the lower part is the stern.
and in the best boats these timbers are now
generally of Eastwood. The length of tho
cross piece depends largely upon the amount
Of sail to be carried. In one of the newest
boats built the runner plank" as the
cross-piece Is technically called, is twenty
feet long, the length from runner plank to
rudder post ia nineteen feet six inches, the
