I’m an experienced (re: old) sailor that just obtained a “vintage” DN. Spruce mast/boom, plywood hull, “Kenneth A Nelson” sail. The sail number is “2013”. Wondering if anyone could hazard a guess for the boat’s age based upon the sail number? The boat has been unused for over 10 years but appears complete shy a broken top batten (anyone have a spare?).

Hi! My name is Reid and I’m a freshman on the Northeastern University sailing team. I’m from California where there is no ice sailing, and since moving out here for college, I’ve always wanted to try it. I could drive out to Quaboag Pond tomorrow (2/17). Is there anyone who could show me the ropes and let me use a boat for a little while?

In reply to capcass. The reports from yesterday were not complete and must be scouted more thoroughly. It really needs a few days of below freezing to seal things up. We are getting that but it has only been 24 hrs. Frankly, I am cautiously optimistic but at this time can not recommend traveling any distance. Let’s see Maybe Monday. John

In reply to Stan york. Stan Could you send me more information and any pictures of Sonny’s boat’s rigging and setup Spencer ssprecker@gmail.com

In reply to Stan york. Stan, I didn’t know Sonny as I only entered the realm of ice boating this past season. But I’ve already come to enjoy the fellowship that seems to exist within this relatively small circle. So guessing based on your name that you are either a brother or son to Sonny, I thought I’d just jump in and extend my condolences on your loss. Th […]
