Description
This
photograph
shows
a
man
in an
ice
boat
on
Lake
Erie
.
Ice
sailing
was and
still
is
very
popular
winter
sport
,
especially
in the
Sandusky
Bay
,
where
there are
still
many
active
ice
sailing
clubs
.
It
was also
used
as a
means
of
transportation
to and from the
Lake
Erie
Islands
,
during
the
frozen
winter
months
when
the
ferries
were
unable
to
traverse
the
waters
.
Neuman
Boat
Dock
offers
the
best
vantage
point
for
viewing
the
water
front
and
Sandusky
Bay
.
It
was
located
at the
foot
of
Columbus
Avenue
, in
Sandusky
,
Ohio
, and was a
particularly
popular
place
in
winter
, with
skaters
,
ice
sailers
and
fishing
shanties
all
vying
for a
piece
of the
ice
. An
ice
boat
(also
“iceboat")
is
a
boat
or
purpose-built
framework
similar
in
functional
design
to a
sail
boat
but
fitted
with
skis
or
runners
(skates)
and
designed
to
run
over
ice
instead
of
through
(liquid)
water
.
Ice
yachting
is
the
sport
of
sailing
and
racing
iceboats
.
Sailable
ice
is
known
in the
sport
as "
hard
water
"
versus
sailing
on
liquid
or "
soft
"
water
. A
related
sport
,
land
sailing
,
utilizes
a
configuration
with an
iceboat-like
fuselage
or
frame
equipped
with
wheels
instead
of
runners
.
Iceboats
commonly
used
for
racing
are
usually
only
for
one
person
, but
several
classes
of
two-seat
and
multiple-seat
iceboats
are
more
or
less
common
. On
some
boats
, a "
side
car
"
can
be
fitted
to
take
others
along
for a
ride
