Default Ice Sailing

Where can I find info on ice sailing?
I just spent an hour searching the web for ice sailing sites and found a

few
but not really what I'm looking for. Finding the right site to sail and

the
right rig for a beginner is my main focus. Surely there are associations

or
clubs out there that can set me straight.

I live in south Texas and I'd like to go to an area in the northeast

where
I could try this sport. I built a tube frame sand sailer of my own design
many years ago using sailboard sails that works great on the beach and I
thought about just adding blades to it but I feel that a proven design for
ice makes more sense. I've had mine over 60 mph on asphalt and I think

I'd
get in trouble with it on ice. Why re-invent the wheel?

There are some links to ice boating sites at

by the st paul minnesota white bear (lake) yacht club

Also on the home page is a webcam showing why no one is sailing today.
