Default How to build an ICE BOAT

Last year I tried to make an ice boat like this
http://iceflyer.com/plans/index.html using a wind-surfer sail and front
steering blade. But it does not work very well. I cannot tack up wind
because the front blade keeps slipping.

So this winter I thought I would try something different, like this
rear-steering model http://www.ulster.net/~mriceboat/welcome.html

Does anyone have plans for a rear-steer ice boat they can share with me
? I am looking for something about 16 ft long and 7 ft wide, and can
hold 3-4 people.

John
