popeyez7 that Hobie sail looks a lot bigger than the DN.
How heavy is your mast/sail/boom aloft compared to the DN?
Are skate plank lengths proportional to mast length or sail area?
The one ice boat I have helped rig had a fiberglass reinforced wooden mast that I could just lift with one arm.
I always needed both arms and both legs to step a Hobie mast.
Will we see pictures of your finished rocket sled this winter?

"Ice shredder" indeed! Be sure to shoot video when you are out in any high winds! That looks like a widow maker to me! So, it's GOTTA be fun!

~~ I'll take easy for the first couple of times. I gotta grow a couple of "KAHUNIAS". I gotta watch for any weak points !!
Of course I'll shoot vids.... I got plenty of GoPros. The DN mast is about 16' high, The Hobie mast is about 26' I also set it up for both the main sail & jib~ (optional)..... The DN mast I can step that myself, not so with the "Ice shredder". I don't know what the weight is for the Hobie mast/ sail / ETC ETC ... I made the skate plank as long as I could make it -15'6"- I had to cut 3" off each end because of normal cracking on the ends, and the main lenght is 20' long......... I have vids on YouTube.... 2 for ice sailin... 28 total.. I didn't have a good year AGAIN for soft water sailin
http://youtu.be/TG9AI5ICw3g This should take ya to "Youtube"... watch that vid then clk on my name or the 28 videos....... I had some trouble with it a couple of days ago ?? I think they re-did their system?? good luck, If ya have trouble e-mail me direct popeyez7 (at) aol(dot) com ~~~~~~~~~~ Paul

Well, yesterday was the winter solstice. Things are looking up
! From this point forward the days start getting longer (at least for those of us on the N side of the equator!)

Ice Shredder looks insane! but why stop there? why not take and attach your rigging's right to the square tramp frame of you H16? You would have to extend the width but with a jib rigged up and two men on the tramp it would feel right at home! Someone should try that

Those two Quebecois have lots of experience with Arctic Expeditions, this was not their first, second, or even third mission, though it may well have reached the highest level of insanity.
Here is the English version of the journal, it is obvious that Quebecois is their first language, but it is quite readable.

This brings a new meaning to the hazards of Cat Sailing, I'll stop complaining about unbalanced helm from now on!
