although the thing to *really* look out for is port-tackers cleaning their
goggles. A capsize isn't so bad if you don't mind sliding on ice.

Back when I owned the Nite, I used to receive a six-per-year, pathetic
little iceboat racing rag that had some fair photographs. One such
photograph was of two E Skeeters that failed to yield ROW at around 90 mph.
One sliced the other in half just in front of the mast and then
disintegrated itself. Both sailors were injured, one seriously with a skull
fracture. Both survived, but probably gave up iceboat racing.
