(Charlie O'Learys class IV at speed) Landsailing is the sport of moving over sand and land using a board carrying a sail for propulsion by the wind, in other words, it is a sport of sailing and racing on land in modified boats. A landyacht is basically a sailbot that travels on small wheels on the surface of land. It is (the landyacht) a wind-driven board, usually light and comparatively small, mounted on 3 wheels. The front wheel is attached to a certain system of controlling. The sail is about 5 square meters in area (and depends on the type of landyacht). The sailor sits on the board (or sometimes lays on it) while his uses his hands and feet to control the landyacht, note that the landyacht does not use any fuel. The board on which the sailor lays is about 1.7 meters in length (and varies), and it is quite narrow. There are many types of landyachts, what you will mostly see in this site is the Manta and Seagull types. (flags showing the wind speed of 25 mph at the starting line of 1998 Americas Cup Regatta ) A landyacht that is sailing downwind can reach no greater a speed than that of the wind itself. But a landyacht can reach much faster speeds when it sails across the wind rather than being pushed along by it (actually it can go 5 times as fast as the wind), since the landyacht creates a wind from the velocity of its own movement that greatly supplements the natural wind. These principles were only vaguely understood in the early days of landsailing.

3. Physics Of Landsailing Explains gravity and aerodynamic forces for the enthusiast. Includes links to related sites. http://www.physicsoflandsailing.com/

Physics of Landsailing LANDSAILING “ Science is thinking empirically about reality. Science is acquaintance, not knowledge. It can never be absolute ” “Osho” Rajneesh. Landsailing is a very demanding sport requiring exceptional skills, eye-hand-leg co-ordination of a very high caliber, dexterity, mental perspicacity and high reflexes. There are many types of Landsailing crafts of which class – 3 and class – 5 are more often used. Controlling the craft requires controlling the sail the operation of which is almost akin to normal water boat. You are required to navigate with your legs and the sail you control with a sheet rope – just pull the rope to sheet in and refrain from pulling the rope for sheeting out. It has been well documented that sailboats have the potential to go faster than the accompanying wind! Land sailing crafts can reach 2 to 3 times the speed of the accompanying wind, of course, under ideal situations. Under normal wind conditions, a land sail may reach even 50 mph, but you can cruise within a safer speed of about 20 to 40 mph bracket. The most important aspect of land sailing is the total balance you get in relation to the center of gravity of the craft and the center of action, which should match, merge or coincide. The weight should be evenly distributed in the front, in the mid-section and the rear side. An appropriately balanced sail with that of the mast is bound to build the sail in proper shape; with a ‘twist’ that is idea. What is twist?

Midstates Land Sailing Association The Midstates Land Sailing Association serves land sailors in Kansas and Oklahoma. This site primarily will serve as an introduction to land sailing and a calendar of upcoming Association events. Introduction to Land Sailing The popularity of land sailing is growing rapidly. Land sailing involves a land sailer, which can also be called a sand yacht, land yacht, or dirt boat. It is basically a boat with wheels that moves via sail power on firm ground or paved surfaces. More than ever before, you can find people sailing in parking lots and in urban parks. Dry lakebeds and other hard sand surfaces are probably still the most popular places to land sail. Land sailing is still considered an "Extreme" sport, but it is being enjoyed by an ever increasing and diverse set of athletes. Many water sailors are attracted to the sport since they have already mastered many of the skills necessary to be a successful land sailor. More and more new people are being attracted to the sport, however, who have no previous sailing background. It is definitely not necessary to have a sailing background in order to become successful at land sailing. The first modern land sailers began to appear in the 1960s and 1970s. These yachts were primarily designed for dry lakebeds, and the sport was largely confined to the American Southwest, New Zealand, Australia and the UK. Many of the sailers were homebuilt out of a variety of materials, creating very unique boats. Now, however, many companies produce micro-yachts which are rugged, but light and inexpensive. They can easily be taken apart and transported. Best of all, they are easy to learn on.

Wind Powered Vehicles Manta Landsailers Shop Online or Call: Manta Landsailers Manta Landsailers The single-seat WinJammer landsailer and the two-place TwinJammer landsailer are the land yachts that revolutionized landsailing. These wind powered vehicles use the materials and design concepts of ultra-light gliders, Manta has created landsailers so light, yet so rugged and potent. They give high performance landsailing on any hard, flat surface - your local parking lot, beach, dry lake bed , or field. Using the natural free energy of the wind, you can accelerate quickly to over twice the speed of the wind! The current landsailing speed record is mph , set March 20th 1999, set here at Ivanpah Dry Lake, 45 minutes outside of Las Vegas. The Manta can be set up for landsailing action in 5 minutes. The ultra-lightness is revolutionary because it permits exciting operation even in small areas. The WinJammer weighs just 70 lbs, with a fully battened sail of 45 sq/ft and a turning radius under 6 feet. The TwinJammer weighs 105 lbs, carries 59 sq/ft of sail and has a turning radius of 8.5 feet. The incredible acceleration and maneuverability let them make the most of any site.

9. Landsail Searching the web for ideas I found the design of the Manta landsailer to be practical Major inspiration came from the fine Colorado landsailing site, http://members.tripod.com/stanley119/landsail.htm

Landsailing After some time sailing boats, I was sitting at my desk at work when a fellow sailed by the window on a skateboard while holding a small windsurfer sail. My mind wandered... Searching the web for ideas I found the design of the Manta landsailer to be practical approach. My approximation was around $150 for materials. Major inspiration came from the fine Colorado landsailing site, http://www.windisfun.com/ which also features many variations on the landsailer form that might adapt well to your particular tools and materials. Rick Hypes' site has grown to become a major influence in DIY landsailing. Performance This thing is a blast to sail and goes about 35mph in 15-17 mph wind on asphalt and is controllable in tight turns. With a heavy wind, the acceleration resembles a small two-stroke motorcycle. I have yet to sail it where I can fully open it up but 45mph might be the safe limit. At times the windward rear wheel lifts, adding to the fun. An Avocet bicycle computer calibrated to my front tire measures speed. Most areas like parking lots run out of room at maximum speed and at that point you have to turn quickly. Being able to corner well is one reason to keep the center of gravity low and have tires that grip well. The front-to-rear weight distribution doesn't seem very critical as long as your weight is just in front of the rear axle. The center of the sail area should be about above the center of gravity of the landsailer with pilot. There are more precise explanations involving the center of effort in relation to the center of lateral resistance....... blah blah. You can figure it out nicely if you crack a sailing book and consider traction variables.

Southwest Landsailing is Back. Sorry for the long delay; it takes a lot longer to rebuild a completely crashed site than I ever imagined! several of the pages are still being built, but the most used ones are up. The landsailing season is here the America's Cup was a great success with good wind and many races in all NALSA classes BlowKarts were there with a separate event, running many races with about 30 racers fron New Zealand and the US and a way-of- the-future electronic scoring system. World landsailing speed record still holds . Although there have been many attempts at setting a new record, Bob Dill and Bob Schumacher are still the fastest at 116.7 mph (187kph). The record was attained in 1999 in the Iron Duck, a fixed wing asymmetrical craft. (more info) Landsailing has come a long way in the last few years with significant development in both the open (big, fast) classes and the emerging mini yacht class. Aggressive marketing by Blokart has rekindled the interest in small, portable landsailers. May 22, 2007
