As a Great, Great, Grandson of George Coley, it is truly amazing to see this boat sailing. Thank you so much for posting the video. I look forward to showing it to my dad.
My grandfather had an A class iceboat in Michigan, called the Gossoon. We have no video of it, but this really gave me an idea of what it must have been like to sail. What a monster! So Cool.
Holeeee moley, she can fly! My family had a cute little launch built in Brooklyn in 1898 and in continuous operation since then (we sold her about four years ago to a neighbor). This is the only boat older than her that I've seen in quite a while. Very cool.
Absolutly fantastic. After 100 years off the ice and 10 years of restoration, to hell with a trial run - ring it out, hike it up, and sail it like you stole it. WOW!!!!

George Coley was George Clayton Jr's great grandfather.

Nice work guys...she looks awesome and still gives great rides!
Perfect choice of music
Very nice boat. Look at the screw unwinding by the vibration at 3:28. :O
When do we go for a ride!?! Excellent job to all involved. Great job on the edit Dan.
Long live The Rocket!
1:58. About to lose a blade? Nothing a little Loctite couldn't fix.
AWESOME 👏
This is great!
Love!
Beautiful Piece Of Art (Sled) I Give It 60 Likes!!
wish they had left the music out so we could here the skates and the wind for a big part of it.
