19.12.2014 DN inline training II., Kadov airport
Vladislav Ptašnik
This time was the nature generous and wind came. It is only half of an hour from Susice. Great – but only if you have your stays in the trailor. So back for stays, one hour lost. At the end it showed up that I would not miss anything as I had to finish my session earlier than intended. Wind blowed 16-30 knots, 60 in gusts.
I had no clue how to slow down or stop my boat at the end of downwind leg. 30-40 m wide landing stripe became suddenly too narrow. My boat accelerated up to 50 km/hour. After few heavy skids I better went home.

This is a clear proof that ice sailing is something really extraordinary. Why would some people do all this only to feel for a while like “to be in an iceboat”?
