Iceboating on Lake Delavan
This past weekend, Chicago sailors decided to face the cold, satisfy their need
for wind-powered fun and head up to Lake Delavan for a go-fast day. A local
sailor spotted this gem, a Beau Skeeter built in 1932 for Harry Melges Sr. In it
he won the Northwest Ice Yacht Regatta. The boat was then named the Mickey Fin
and is now owned by Chris Goes of DLYC.
