When re-assemble my Antique Roadshow (1960's Norton boat) this weekend I made a small adjustment to the Steering Rod length and crack the aluminum Steering Rod Assembly.

To say the least I don't think I want to sail with 3 large cracks in the steering rod end.

Does anyone have any extra Steering Rod Assembly they want to get rid of? I can always buy a new one from Sarns but what fun is that.

Packing for the NAs, which I expect to be in the East. I have the following stuff that could be for sale, and will be packed if interest is expressed:

Runners:

1. Steel near min T's, wood bodies, 36 inch 100 deg side runners, 90 deg 32 in steering runner. Set: $600

2. Pair of 3/16 Sarns steel 36 in inserts. Carbon sides. One rebuilt, body (maple core), one original body by Tod Gambel (birch ply core). Both straight and sit identically in chocks (interchangable, left to right). If they are not sold, these will be my steering and back-ups at NAs. Pair $700

Sails:

1. Doyle (Boston) FO-2 for composite mast, 4" shortened leech. Best for stiff mast (more rake) wide range of conditions. Also great with with soft mast set straighter with rig very low. $325 with battens, $260 without.

I want to buy iceskeeter plans.

Given that traditional fiberglass helmets are a bit heavy I have been looking for a replacement over the last year. Light weight carbon fiber/kevlar helmets are becoming more available (and yes they are spendy) on the market but finding one with good vision while laying down in a DN has been a bit of a challenge. The Luge folks seem to have something but finding more info or a source has been a challenge.

Any suggestions out there?

Give your child of grandchild Iceboating for Christmas!

The gift that might last a lifetime.

Two complete Opti Iceboats, ready to sail with sails and runners.

Boats use Optimist rigs, very stable and nice sailing.

DN runners work. Comes with steel plate runners.

Custom almost new sails heavier and flatter than Opti sails for soft water boats. Sails used fewer than 6 times.

$1700 each, barely covers materials costs. My labor free???

Both for $3000.

I've just returned from the Williams Bay swap meet. The weather was great and there were some good deals and advice to be had. Many thanks to Bob & Jane Pegel and the many vendors that make the meet what it is. I posted some pictures in the gear section of the image galleries.

I am looking to buy a cover for my DN, either new or used.
