I'm no expert on the ice (I'm lower than a novice at that), but isn't it way too early to be on the ice in that area? But I am ready to snowmobile to the island when the ice is!

If you go to the Black Cat site and run the time lapse, in the first few frames that flash you will see an ice boat or two (with a sail). I just did it and could still see it. I don't see a way to freeze the frame but I am sure it can be done by CLA.

I saw one of the ice boats up close, loaded onto a car roof rack, and it was an old, all wood boat, with a skinny hull, wood spar, three runner blades and one sail. It looked like it would float.

Ice thickness guesstimate, about three inches?.
