Ice yacht racers on Lake Champlain's Mallets Bay, near Colchester, Vermont, get ready to catch the wind for sail between races in February of 1996.
Photojournalist Remarks

The results of this photo were partly why I wanted to do a complete story on ice yacht racing at some point in time. I loved the partial silhousette of the racers bodies against the sails of their boats, and the reflection of the sun off from the glare ice of Lake Champlain. Warm winters, scheduling conflicts and other photo jobs got in the way of doing "The Ice Yacht Club" sooner than 2005.
