PD World Iceboat Record
This record is about using your PD as an ice boat, blown by the wind. Since our motto is cheap, creative and having fun on the water, why not having fun on frozen water? With some creative apendages, a PD should be able to sail across the ice like real ice boats. For inspiration, see ice-scooter.org

Iceboat Rules:
1 - Hull can be class legal form, or official variant, but does not have to be setup for sailing.
2 - Hull must be able to float as it is with crew aboard, if detached from the iceboating apendages
3 - Skipper must sit in the hull during the record setting effort
4 - May use any vertical or horizontal fins - ski like steering appendages might be nescessary. Also the hull may end up only being a cockpit for an iceboat carridge, but that is OK for this challenge.
5 - Boat must be propelled by mother nature or human (can't tow it around with a snow mobile)
6 - Skipper must remain in the boat for the entire distance, however all crew and reindeer may be changed without limitation
7 - For distance record, you may make laps, if you have a GPS that logs distance travelled, you may use that for calculating distance travelled (does not have to be point to point).
8 - For speed record, you can use peak GPS or submit other means that used to calculate speed.
