DN Ice Yacht Specifications

The DN is the largest iceboat class globally, so named because it was the winner of an iceboat design contest sponsored by the Detroit News in Detroit, Michigan, in 1937. The DN’s appeal is that it’s both home buildable and available from commercial manufacturers in North America and Europe. The DN class has embraced technical advances while keeping the home builder in mind. Those in North America may purchase plans on the DN North America website.
