Ice Yacht Racing Rules

• DN Class Information

KEY PURPOSES

• The purpose of the rules is to prevent collisions. Infractions are cause for disqualification.
• Fair Sailing: Always act in terms of Common sense, safety and good sportsmanship.

NOT LIKE SOFTWATER

• Ice sailing rules are for safety, not tactical use.
• Starboard tack does not always have right-of-way.
• Sometimes windward has right-of-way.
• There is no three-length rule at a mark.

A yacht sailing OFF-THEWIND shall keep clear of a yacht sailing ON-THE-WIND

When two yachts are sailing ON-THE-WIND , the yacht on the PORT TACK shall keep clear of the yacht on the STARBOARD TACK .

When two yachts are sailing OFF-THEWIND , the yacht on the PORT TACK shall keep clear of the yacht on the STARBOARD TACK

When two yachts are sailing ON-THE-WIND are on the same tack the WINDWARD YACHT shall keep clear.

When two yachts are sailing OFF-THEWIND on the same tack, the LEEWARD YACHT shall keep clear.

A right-of-way yacht shall not alter her course so as to mislead or prevent a non right-of-way yacht from keeping clear. 

When a faster moving yacht approaches another yacht on the same tack from the rear, the faster yacht must not sail so close that the slower yacht cannot keep clear. 

A yacht may not TACK or JIBE so as to involve the probability of collision with another yacht which, owing to her position or speed, cannot keep clear.

A yacht approaching and unable to clear an OBSTRUCTION without fouling or endangering another yacht may signal the other yacht for room to clear. The signalled yacht shall at once give room and if it is necessary for her to TACK or JIBE , the signalling yacht shall also TACK or JIBE immediately thereafter.

When approaching or rounding a MARK , an OUTSIDE yacht shall keep clear.

When approaching or rounding a MARK , a faster moving yacht approaching another from the rear shall stay clear of a yacht that has started her rounding maneuver.

When yachts sailing ON-THE-WIND ​ on opposite tacks are approaching a MARK , the PORT TACK yacht shall keep clear of the STARBOARD TACK Yacht.

 When approaching a mark, an OUTSIDE yacht shall keep clear.

Each yacht shall be entitled to room to cross the finish line.

After finishing a race, a yacht shall keep clear of the course and yachts still racing.

Racing Faster Than a Speeding Car on the Frozen Hudson

In the early 20th century, iceboating could race sailors more than 75 mph — and when the river freezes, it still provides thrills today..

It’s rare to see sailboats on the Hudson this time of year. But in the late 19 th  and early 20 th  centuries, sail-powered iceboats carrying famous valley residents like FDR regularly sped across the frozen waters of the river and local lakes as fast as cars go today. Today, a passionate group of iceboaters tries to keep the tradition alive, always hoping to get their vessels up to speed and introduce new people to their exhilarating sport.

The members of the  Hudson River Ice Yacht Club  lovingly maintain several dozen historic vessels. While they keep them in working trim, in recent years they’ve had little opportunity to get them on the river due to warm winters and too little ice — yet another casualty of the climate crisis. 

“We’re so desperate for a good week of sailing,” says John Sperr, treasurer of the club. “It’s extremely frustrating. There’s not enough reward for the amount of effort that goes into it.” Club member Reid Bielenberg, who has been iceboating for more than half a century, takes a glass-half-full attitude about the limited recent sailing opportunities: “That makes the adventures you  do  accomplish all the more valued,” he says.

In recent years iceboaters have had little opportunity to get their vessels on the river due to warm winters and too little ice — yet another casualty of the climate crisis.

Faster than a speeding locomotive

It’s a far cry from the “golden age” of Hudson River iceboating, which dates roughly from 1880-1910, when it was a pastime of riverfront estate owners looking for year-round thrills. But the practice of sailing on the river’s ice began much earlier, with Dutch colonists who attached runners to their boats to transport goods and people during winter.

In 1790, Poughkeepsie’s Oliver Booth designed a craft geared specifically for travel on ice. Essentially a square box, it featured three runners — two fixed and one that moved, allowing a crew member to steer. It quickly caught on for transportation, recreation, and even warfare. During the War of 1812, plans were hatched to destroy a British ship frozen on Lake Champlain with an iceboat filled with explosives. According to Sperr, Booth’s design “is generally credited with starting the recreational iceboat movement in the United States.”

Benson Lossing’s The Hudson , published in 1866, offers a vivid account of iceboating in Peekskill Bay: “Wrapped in furs and shawls, over-coats and cloaks, men and women, boys and girls, were enjoying the rare exercise with the greatest pleasure. Fun, pure fun, ruled the hour. The air was vocal with shouts and laughter; and when the swift ice-boat, with sails set, gay pennon streaming, and freighted with a dozen boys and girls, came sweeping gracefully toward the crowd — after making a comet-like orbit of four or five miles to the feet of the Donder Berg, Bear Mountain, and Anthony’s Nose — there was a sudden shout, and scattering, and merry laughter, that would have made old Scrooge, even before his conversion, tremulous with delight.”

As technology advanced during the 19 th century, so did the speed of iceboats, increasing the desire to race them. Soon, clubs sprang up all along the upper stretches of the river, including Newburgh, Hyde Park, and Poughkeepsie. Poughkeepsie became the epicenter of the sport (as it would for intercollegiate rowing four decades later) because it sat along a 20-mile stretch of the river offering ideal winter sailing conditions — snow-cleared ice at least six (and preferably eight) inches thick, a long spell of cold weather, and sustained winds around 15 mph. 

On race days hundreds, if not thousands, of people huddled on the ice near the city to watch the boats compete — either against each other or locomotives. The iceboats usually beat the trains; for a time, they were the fastest vehicles on the planet, capable of reaching speeds of 75 mph or greater, and occasionally exceeding 100 mph.

The racing iceboats owned by the wealthy were full-on yachts. Along with being huge — John Roosevelt’s  Icycle  spanned 70 feet, hoisted 1,000 feet of sail, and had to be moved on a railroad flatcar — they featured carved figureheads, a variety of woods, even gold leaf.

Those wanting the fastest ice yachts relied on Jacob Buckhout, whose workshop first was located in Highland, beneath today’s Mid-Hudson Bridge, before it moved to Poughkeepsie. Buckhout built both the  Icycle  and the  Jack Frost , which belonged to Archibald Rogers, Roosevelt’s Hyde Park neighbor. They each won the Ice Yacht Challenge Pennant of America, the sport’s Kentucky Derby, four times.

Despite the name, ice yachts hardly resemble boats. They look more like a cross with a pole (the mast) rising from where the two beams meet. Cables and turnbuckles hold the beams together, while one or two sails propel the craft across the ice on machete-sized runners.

The iceboats usually beat the trains; for a time, they were the fastest vehicles on the planet, capable of reaching speeds of 75 mph or greater, and occasionally exceeding 100 mph.

One or two sailors lie prone, on their stomachs or sides, in a cockpit on the main beam. With their bodies just 18 inches off the ice, they can travel faster than a car on the interstate — and without brakes. (To stop, you have to turn the boat into the wind.)

Is it scary? Not to Sperr, who took his first sail in an iceboat in 1982 and has been hooked ever since. “It’s like flying an airplane — incredible exhilaration,” he says before going on to describe some of the thrills while out on the Hudson: “wind in your face…sailing by coyotes on the ice, hunting ducks…passing tugboats.”

Bielenberg, who owns the  Vixen , built in 1885 for John Roosevelt, says that while some passengers complain about the bumpiness — “they say it feels like you’re going over railroad tracks” — “it’s a pretty thrilling ride for something that’s 130 years old.” (Click  here  to take a “ride” on the  Vixen .)

“We love giving people rides”

The Hudson River Ice Yacht Club was founded in 1885 when some members of the Poughkeepsie Ice Yacht Club, the nation’s first organization devoted to the sport, broke away over a dispute. It boasted the fastest boats in the country, including the  Icycle .

The club also included the  Hawk , owned by John Roosevelt’s nephew, Franklin D. Roosevelt. The future president raced the boat, a Christmas gift from his mother, primarily during his college years. It’s now in the collection of the Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt National Historic Site and makes occasional appearances at special events.

The club continued to flourish until disbanding around World War I, when enthusiasts “discovered automobiles and airplanes,” says Sperr. But in the 1960s, interest in iceboating and its heritage on the Hudson was revived and the club re-formed, this time less elite and more approachable. Its standard-bearer was Cornwall’s Ray Ruge, dubbed “Mr. Ice Boat,” who owned and restored several of the historic vessels. Through his enthusiasm and writings, he encouraged others to follow his lead, including a teenage Bielenberg, who became interested in the sport after reading an article by Ruge in  Boys’ Life  magazine.  

From the 1970s up to 2000, sailors could regularly count on favorable conditions. Since then, says Bielenberg, “nearly half the years have gone by without any iceboating at all.” The last great congregation on the river, a “once-in-a-lifetime” event, one longtime sailor  told  the  New York Times , occurred in 2014 near Barrytown.

When ice in the open Hudson doesn’t cooperate, boaters sometimes find sailing fail-safes in Tivoli Bay or Orange Lake in Newburgh, where four generations of the Lawrence family have raced boats. Frustrating weather aside, the club remains strong — about 70 people attended its recent annual meeting — and it’s always on the lookout for new members.

A weather forecaster acquaintance of Sperr’s has suggested that luck might be on the club’s side this season, predicting a February cold snap for the valley. “If it comes, we’ll be there. We’re so desperate for a good week of sailing,” he says. If the stars indeed align — you can keep abreast of  sailing conditions  on the club’s website — don’t miss the show. And be prepared to go for a sail. Adds Sperr, “We love giving people rides.”

Iceboat Regattas

Regatta information.

DN Regattas International Skeeter Association Regatta Northwest Regatta And much more.

What To Know About Iceboat Regattas

• Iceboat racing is highly dependent upon weather and ice conditions. The regatta schedules list the dates when the regatta may be held IF ice conditions warrant.
• The latest information will be posted on the SUNDAY before a scheduled regatta. When regatta conditions do not exist, the regatta will be postponed week by week.
• For example, if a Northwest (NIYA) or ISA regatta is tentatively called ON the Sunday before the upcoming weekend, the ice will be assessed again two days later on Wednesday. If ice conditions are good, then a FINAL CONFIRMATION will be posted on that WEDNESDAY before the regatta. Both the NIYA and ISA regattas are 3 day events that take place on a Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
• The exceptions to this are the DN World, North American, and European championship regattas which are always held on the scheduled dates and never postponed.
