SAILING ON SKATES. Winter Fun For All Ages On Ice
The piece extols sailing on skates as a healthy New England winter sport for young and old. It describes affordable gear, how to rig a sail, and techniques like port and starboard tacks, with notes on wind use, learning pace, and safety. It notes that ice boats inspired early wind-driven skating craft, and praises skating as quick, cheap recreation for ponds and streams when frozen solid.

Skater Safely Faces Gusty Wind On Ice
The piece describes a skater wearing steel runners, spreading sails, and facing strong winds that push him to high speeds. It notes balance is delicate when running before the wind, and a fall tends to be backward, with greater risk in gusts and flaws of wind.
Sail technique for small boats and windward work
The article discusses using a single reef and topsail to drive a small craft, noting how sailing downwind is easy while beating to windward is harder. It explains keeping the wind off the face with a sail, preferring the long leg and short leg method, jibing, and coming to stays when tacking across a stream or pond.
