Here’s one method explained on video by Tomek Zakrzewski P55 of how to glue the chocks that hold the runners to a DN plank.
This episode of DN Tech Talk is result of several requests I received from sailors from North America and Sweden. I tried to cover this challenging topic within 30 minutes. Hope you learn something and enjoy watching.

DN iceboats in the press alert! Seahorse Magazine has an article by Steve Orlebeke about our sport.
Not many sailors only ever have one go in a DN ice yacht. US sailor Steve Orlebeke explains why…
One hundred kilometres per hour downwind in 15kt of breeze. That’s what got me hooked. And I am terribly hooked.
