Matt Struble wins 2006 DN Worlds

SAILING SHORTS
* MENOMINEE, MICHIGAN -- The world has a new DN iceboat champion. Matt Struble originally from Bay City, now in Birmingham Mi. won in dramatic fashion over Thomas Lindgren of Sweden. I spent a lot of time sailing around Matt and he is a class act. Matt has had success sailing in multihulls (Worrell 1000) and has been near the top of the DN class for some time. The class deserves a champion that represents the best this sport has to offer. Bernd Zeiger 3rd, Ron Sherry 4th, John Dennis 5th, Michele Brezinski 6th, Swiss Kuba, 7th, Regatta chair Dr. John Harper
8th. -- Bryan Brieden,

Love the youtube video on the site.

Here's a photo of our "Frostbite Regatta" last weekend--pretty funny contrast:
