Got home from work and that made my day John.

That's got to be soooo much fun.

Love your construction once again. Awesome effort.

If it's a mini Skeeter what are the size restrictions compared to a land based mini?
Out of interest, how are they measured ?

Its done. I got to sail The Mini Skeeter last week end - -upload_owner

I had another great day of iceboating with the Mini Skeeter yesterday. A few more will be built this year in my shop. This boat handles so much better than the 5.6 on the ice. Not so twitchy. I like the forward sheeting system too. I need to move the ratchet block back a bit more to keep it from hitting the fuselage.

I've been iceboating for 20 years now. Last year I got 13 days in so far this season 15 days. If I hadn't built a mini and put runners on it I would have sailed only a handful of days with my bigger boats. I wish It wouldn't of taken 20 years to figure out little boats are the way to go for iceboating where I live. Most lakes are too small for a bigger boat but perfect for a mini sized one. I can load my mini in the back of the truck and take off and launch for iceboating in a matter of minutes. Iceboating is a seize the moment type sport. If there is good ice and wind you have to drop everything your doing because It may not be there tomorrow. Today I drove out but no wind. Now it's snowing. You never know if it's going to be the last day of boating for the season. Here are a few more good trips I've had this season -

Thanks. My son and his buddies used to make skateboard movies a while back. They helped me sort things out. I don't know how to use high trec editing tricks but I try to find the best shots of hours of video and lace it together. Then add in the appropriate music. It can take up to 7 hours to make a good one. Longer when my editing program crashes.

5th day sailing the new Mini Skeeter. I really like the way this boat handles so far. It's got more of a 5sq footprint with my mini rig. -

My last day for this season. I sailed 23 days over the last 4 plus months this season. This was my last day. The ice was rotting around the shoreline as I sailed. It was a sad day after I got the boat off the ice.
