"Sleek and built to race, the narrow boat hulls are fixed on a base of three gleaming blades and sports sails like those used in windsurfing to harness wind power and roar across frozen water.
'It's the speed that gives you an adrenaline rush,' says Tomasz Zakrzewski, ranked number fourth in the world in the DN class ice boat racing. Sailing on ice is his passion.
'Among the disciplines that use wind and sails, it is the fastest. We sail at three times the speed of the wind,' he said on a recent day when despite low winds, ice boats were cruising at 100 kilometres (62 miles) per hour."
