Description: Plans for a two seat iceboat, easily built from commonly available materials. Order online.
Sail your favorite frozen lake in comfort! The Icester is an easily built, semi-enclosed, two seat iceboat. It is built from three sheets of 1/4 inch lauan or marine plywood, one sheet of 3/4 ply, and stock lumber for the springboard, mast, and framing lumber. Homemade or DN hardware (runners, steering, etc.) can be used. The advantage of the Icester design is that you sail more comfortably than in other, more open, iceboats. It's semi-enclosed design partially shields the pilot and passenger from the cold, and there is even room for an alcohol boat heater. It has a small trunk to store a blanket, lunch, ice-fishing gear, and so on. And yes, that is a radio you see in the dashboard! The Icester is not designed to be an all-out speed boat, but will nonetheless "top out" somewhere above fifty miles an hour. But you can stay out when the sailors of open boats have headed home to soak in a tub, and thaw their digits! You can explore your lake, stay warm while you check your fishing tip-ups, or go have lunch in a quiet cove.
