Nah, you just need the right boat:
Breaking ice is more fun than you should be allowed to have on the
water.
Commercial fishing in winter, on a calm day, is a blast too. I've been underway well below zero F, even on small open boats. Not a problem if you're dressed for it.
Out in breaking seas, where you have to be chipping ice all the time, it's not so much fun. I'd imagine sailing would lose some of its appeal at that point, too, although I've never had the pleasure.
