Superhurtige isbåde

Mandag, 11. januar 2010 00:18

Den kolde vinter åbner mulighed for sportsgrene, der ellers lider under den globale opvarmning. Denne weekend blev der sejlet DM for isbåde på Arresø nord for København. En stivfrossen Arresø blev i weekenden sejlet tynd af de lynhurtige isbåde, DN isbåde, som kan nå hastigheder op mod 100 km/t ved hjælp sejl og skøjter.

Det er en imponerende fart, de små skrøbelige 'både' kan opnå alene ved vindens hjælp. Sejlerne løber bådene i gang og hopper først ind i skroget, når vinden har fyldt sejlet.

Derefter accelererer båden voldsomt, og i løbet af få sekunder pisker deltagerne afsted mod et topmærke, som står flere kilometer væk i horisonten.

Med de voldsomme kræfter og høje hastigheder risikerer sejlerne, at båden krænger i et pust, og at de bliver kastet ud på den stenhårde is.
