DN Ice Yachts: James ‘T’ Thieler’s Top Tacking Tips – YouTube

Thanks to T for putting together this video with Mike Madge, who’s been interviewing other top iceboaters. The ifo is priceless and is a must see for all icebat sailors.

The ice at Damariscotta has leveled out nicely in the rain and warmth. Looks like we could have days of great sailing in the offing. Bobby Able is coming up from Long Island with his Mini Skeeter for the duration. Can we get all our east coast MS’s together for the first time? Could there be a Spring Fling a’coming?

Big winds Tuesday may preclude sailing, but we’ll watch the forecast and hope for some moderation.
