Ice Boating on the Hudson Swift Flyers Racing Speed
Ice boating on the Hudson features the Swift Flyers racing machines with spider-like hulls built for strength and lightness. The sport runs 30 days at most per season, with a week of good racing possible in some winters. Accidents are rare, usually limited to ducking or frostbite, while the greatest hazards come from collisions on opposite tacks or sudden obstructions. A mile a minute is a common speed for these vessels despite scattered favorable days.
