If you have some more time and are a good crafts man you van also build a stand inside ice wing. The idea is Anders Ansar's. You can get some more details on his skate sailing page. (I hope you will be back to browse this site a bit more ;-))
The problems they are experiencing at the moment are: A large profile thickness ratio because of the transverse stance of the skater (app 50cm) and also the large resulting cord. This large cord and the limited possible sailarea in ice sailing result in a low aspect-ratio, and the connected low aerodynamic efficiency. Decreasing the speed potential, which still is very high.

Nevertheless, this system is the best there is at the moment. The parasitic drag (skater or icesailer) are non existent.

 Ice wing.

 Aerodynamically the ice wing can be improved by decreasing the relative profile thickness (Thickness/cordlength). Above approximately 20% relative thickness, the profile efficiency decreases quite quickly.

This choice in wing-profile will also result in a higher aspect ratio (span^2/sailarea), because the cord can be shorter, when the absolute thickness is decreased.
The aspect ratio of a wing is also very important in wing-efficiency. This efficiency can be expressed as the maximum Lift/drag ratio of a wing. For the new proposition this is approximately 25.

Stand sideways.

Standing sideways poses the problem of skates. You could use skates with angled blades. For starters I think the more pragmatic approach would be, using an ice surfer as platform.

The ice wing will fit like a jacket. This highly restricts body movement. It is necessary to make two small self-closing doors, to allow you the take up a wider stance when needed.

Next to this text you find a limited resolution picture of part of the design drawings. The sail will be made out of polyester sheeting with a perspex window.

Once you have built your stand inside wingsail, please register your wing with Ansar Anders. He not only developed the wing but also keeps track of wingsails. His homepage reference is on the link page of this website.

Swedish style.

Future development.

I expect the stand sideways wing to work so well, that a larger sail area is also possible. This will increase the aspect ratio and the maximum lift/drag ratio to approximately 32. The speedpotential with this aerodynamic efficiency is very high.
