New Iceboat Blade Sharpener !!
Переглядів 1,7 тис.4 роки тому
This is my new homemade iceboat blade sharpener. It runs 2" x 132" belts, 2 HP motor, 3,600 FPM belt speed, adjustable for 80, 90, and 100 degrees, adjustable height bed. The platen is ground tool steel, which is very flat and will never wear out. Throws sparks real good !!

Here's a short one from the 2019 ISA regatta on Lake Pepin, which is part of the Mississippi river right on the WI/MN border. This is the class B and C skeeters racing together. The video is taken from my class C bubble boat "Drifter". Plans are available, so build one today and come out and play!!

Class A stern steerer iceboat "Phantom" on Bald Eagle Lake 2/20/15
Переглядів 7708 років тому
Here's a short video of a class A stern steerer iceboat. This is about as steady as I can hold the camera by hand. It was a 40 F day with light winds and soft, rough ice, but still an absolute blast.
Class A rumble seat Skeeter Iceboat on Bald Eagle lake 2012

This is a boring short video from 2012, on Bald Eagle Lake in Minnesota. From what I remember, it was a pretty slow day. But any day sailing on the ice is a good day, especially in the good company of the BEIYC. This is a Class A Skeeter iceboat. Think ice!
Iceboat Foam/Carbon wing mast construction for C Skeeter
Переглядів 15 тис.9 років тому
This is the start of a new 12" wide x 20' long wing mast for my C Skeeter iceboat. This is for the boat named "Drifter", sail number I-291. It has been many years since I cut foam like this and I am far from being an expert. The foam gives the shape of the mast, and then gets covered in many layers of carbon fiber, which provides the structural strength. If you are interested in more informatio...

Those Vintage Evinrude Outboard Motors are Bulletproof, Nice motor you have there 😊
That was a nice ride! well done. Did you end up hunting them down?
Yep. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while!
Enjoyed video. Also your Waconia High School parking lots look good for land sailing (stand-up on longboard skateboards or sit-down on trikes)12 mo a year for you.
Just awesome
This is fascinating, thanks...
Really enjoying these, thanks!
Not so easy that its look like
I have that same motor, and I'm wondering what to ask for it. Any suggestions ? Thanks
Why would someone downvote this? Cool old motor.
Dude, why are you dragging the wire on the templates? Better to istall a small spike or even a small ball bearing on the outside of pipe and let that run on the template. This will leave the wire free from cooling, dragging and , possibly breaking from the abrasion against the aluminum.
Its good enough. You’re describing perfectionist paralysis that leads to never getting anything done for the sake of constant “improvements”. I know, because I suffer this as well.
@@gordoncellist No I'm not describing perfectionist paralysis. I am describing how you could make your setup better and more accurate with simple alterations. Sorry if I paralyzed you by doing so.
Nice motor, but it's a 1958, not a 1957
i like to ride on the plank but that looks too fast!!
This is awesome... I wish you could post the remaining steps of the build.
Nice motor.
Great video, excellently explained. I'm inspired to make a hot wire setup myself now! Rather than the fishing lines attached to weights to maintain the straightness of the hot wire though (which seems to work really well in your case, wires exit very close to the same time on each side!), i'm considering making a rigid Linear Bearing based system to prevent the mechanism jacking sideways. Should be interesting. Anyhow, thanks for the inspiration!
Wow! That's a really nice work.
Informative.
