Skeeter Ice Boat (Magazine DIY Article)
Description
The International Skeeter Association (ISA) was organized in the late 1930s and the first ISA regatta was sailed in 1940. Skeeters were developed on Geneva Lake in Wisconsin. These revolutionary ice yachts are piloted by a single skipper and steer from the front of the boat, unlike original iceboats which were crewed by two or more and steered from the rear.

Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them. You should take the same precautions, especially when the data is not from Sailrite. The information on this site is not guaranteed to be accurate.
