Kenosha Yacht Club presents FREE Ice Boating Program
January 16 Program on Iceboating: Fun for All Ages!
The Kenosha Yacht Club Foundation will offer a free public educational presentation on Iceboating and Safety on Ice on January 16 at 6:30 PM at the Kenosha Yacht Club. No reservations are required, and all are welcome.
Iceboating is an ancient art that in modern times is a sport enjoyed by all ages anywhere lucky enough to have really cold weather. Powered only by the wind, riding on metal blades like ice skates, iceboats can travel at speeds over 100 miles per hour. A thrilling and accessible sport, iceboating is enjoying renewed popularity in recent years.
John Weiss, an experienced sailor and iceboater, will discuss the sport based on his decades of iceboating. Also presenting will be DNR Conservation Warden Taylor Meinholz to discuss Safety on Ice.
The Kenosha Yacht Club is located at 5130 4th Ave in Kenosha.
