Its a home built wood side by side two person boat "modeled after an arrow". It also may be similar to a Gambit. It has no front spring board with a body construction similar to a DN. Dont know any other details as it was built by someone in Colorado many years ago. I would estimate the boat is in the 12 to 13 foot lenght by 8 to 10 foot wide range. Virtually no thought given to safety (similar to most ice boats..). Yes, Im fairly certain its a "uncut" 14 mast. FYI, if you want to know the real story about ice boat speeds, here is an article from an expert (Bob Dill) http://iceboat.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=153 |

We built an aluminum 9 passenger iceboat and used a Hobie 18 rig! Sails on Maumee Bay in Lake Erie, Toledo Ohio. Toledo Ice Yacht Club http://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?s ... .512171892 |

My sailing neighbor up north tried to do that same thing on his ice boat and he said it didn't work so well.... |
