Did it one on a frozen lake in Poland ages ago.  Only conventional sails in those days and the ice was covered with a thin layer of snow so that even with goggles on, the worst bit was trying to see where you were going.  I don't expect I did more than 40 mph but it was brilliant.

A little edit of our winter training camp in the 49er- enjoy :) we haven't been sailing it for ages hence some of the slightly rookie gybes!

Just had a second look, the sail/wing bends both ways at once on the 80 mph run, though I doubt he had time to look up !!

Heart in the mouth stuff when one ski lifts off the ice ! Great vid, couple of questions though,

1) How do you know the whole lake is thick enough to sail on, going through thin ice doesn't bear thinking about. Dead
2) I can't even walk on ice when I am sober, so how do you do it when you have just had a bottle of whiskey for lunch ??  Thumbs Up
