How cold is too cold?

haha. indeed.
There was two guys who sailed a hobie 18 across the entire length of northern canada above the arctic circle in the arctric ocean. They would pull the boat up onto huge floating sheets of ice at night and sleep ontop of the hobie, get back up the next day sail 40 miles, and repeat.

So to answer your question. Get a thick wetsuit booties a hood, and foul weather gear and go for it if its that cold

To all of you on the Hobie Forum... I love you guys!!!
thanks for all the help!

Wetsuit is not a problem. I use a 7mm full semidry suit (I still get just as wet though) and I have the rest of the outfit to go along with it. I don't know if I want to try chopping my way through the ice to sail a few feet, then chop, then sail....

That doesn't sound like fun.... maybe I could mount some skis or skates and ice sail though....hmmmm.....anyone got a Hobie with shot hulls so I can use the frame and setup an ice rig?
