Aurora resident and outdoor enthusiast Charlie Zine glides across Mastodon Lake in Phillips Park in Aurora Sunday in an ice boat at speeds as high as 30 MPH. The owner of the boat, Bob Gaul, drilled through the smooth-as-glass ice on the Lake to make sure it was greater than six inches deep to be safe. Participants included Gaul, Anton Kirner, and Matt Hook. The International DN is a class of iceboat. The name stands for Detroit News, where the first iceboat of this type was designed and built in the Winter of 1936-1937. Screenshot of an Anton Kirner Facebook video
