Ice boats - The "A" class is out !

[nedL]

It looks like the A class ice boats are back out on the rivers where I grew up smile.gif (Navesink River, NJ) These boats are something to see. Some of them have tufted velvet cushions in cockpits that are boarded by little oak pin rails & look like they can 'comfortably' carry four people. You can hear the A class boats come about from probably a mile away as the runners scrape across the ice. Some are family heirlooms that have been passed down through generations. Really something to see.

Neat smile.gif
I always heard that river ice was the most dangerous of all. It must be awfully cold there.

With the ice ships flying in your face, the last thing you are thinking about is being cold.
