Question of the Week
Bendy Toy
Okay, our knowledge of ice boats and ice boating can be summed up like this: "That looks cool!" We know a lot of you are really into it, and we would be too if we didn't live in a part of the country that hardly ever has the temperature drop below 50 degrees, and if it does, we call it a state of emergency, request federal funds, and then hide in our McMansions until the winter temperature gets back to a hospitable 68. Whew.
So our question of the week is going to seem amazingly simple to you iceheads: Click on the pic of the DN's (again thanks to today's featured photographer, Dallas Johnson) and tell us why the rig falls to leeward in the middle of the mast section. Surely they could make a mast section stiff enough to prevent that. Maybe an intermediate shroud? Help a brother out.
