[landsailing] Online Sailing Game
  • From To Date : Fri, 27 Jan 2006 21:34:12 -0800
I'm not a gamer, but this could be a good one. Can you beat the record Try www.ciconline.org/windward Below was copied from "Fox recaps" on the Internet: The Nautical Net A free real-world science lesson arrives on middle-schoolers' computer screens through Windward (www.ciconline.org/windward), a sailing game that gives players the chance to outsmart the weather. Actually, any inquisitive visitor with a broadband Internet connection and the Macromedia Flash 7.0 plug-in will appreciate the high-seas adventure developed by Cable in the Classroom with help from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Discovery Education and the Weather Channel. The game tests decision-making skills as the player virtually navigates a sailboat around the globe while trying to beat the world record of 71 days, achieved on May 3 by Dame Ellen MacArthur from Great Britain.

Land sailing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation search Land sailing on the beaches of Quend, bay of Somme, France Land sailing is motion across land in a wheeled vehicle powered by wind through the use of a sail . The term comes from analogy with (water) sailing . It has a variety of names in addition to land sailing, Most commonly Sand Yachting or Land Yachting. A vehicle used in land sailing is often called a land yacht . Historically, land sailing has been used by some cultures as a mode of transportation ; in modern times, land sailing is primarily a sport and has been practiced as such mainly since the 1950s. Modern land sailors, generally referred to as "Pilots" can go three to four times than the wind speed. A gust of wind is considered more beneficial in a land sailing race than a favorable windshift. Land sailing works best in windy, flat areas - taking place mainly on beaches, air fields, and dry lakebeds (playas) in desert regions. Land yachts are three wheeled vehicles which work mainly like usual water boats in the way they are sailed, except they are steered by pedals or hand levers. They are sailed from a lying down position.

    Land sailing
    Tuesday, 29th January 2008 by Rob Although it appears to be one of the scariest sports in the modern world, land sailing (or land yachting ) has apparently caught on in a big way on this beach in Malo Les Bains , near Dunkirk, France. The premise is essentially the same as water sailing - except there are wheels, speeds of up to 70mph, and a harder surface to fall on! Participants sit or lie in a kayak shaped hull, and use pedals or levers to control the sail. Ironically, right next to the water appears to be the best place to do this! There are multiple size classes, with the most powerful being Class 2 (which boast 8 metre sails), progressively getting smaller and less powerful. Also hoping to take advantage of the favourable wind conditions are some kite buggies . These are similar to land yachts, but using a power-kite to propel you along the ground, instead of a sail, and can also reach speeds of 70mph.

These pages are designed to introduce you to the world of Land Sailing. Land sailing is one of the fastest growing sports. It is most easily thought of as wind powered go-karting, combining the speed of racing carts with the zen like feel of sailing. New designs have allowed it to migrate from it's traditional home in the desert and move into more urban areas. The new generation of land sailers is less expensive, easier to transport and are small and flexible enough to run in smaller areas and a variety of surfaces.

pad Blo Kart land sailing serious toys! Fast Set Up The blokart only takes 5 minutes to set up Blo-Kart Sport Model Land Sailing Vehicle pad $2500.00
http://www.windwizards.com/blokart.html
Fast Set Up
The blokart only takes 5 minutes to set up and doesn’t require any tools to assemble.
For All The Family
Because the blokart is hand steered, it can be driven by almost any sized child or adult, with no adjustment necessary – you don’t need to reach the pedals!!
Limited Mobility
The hand steering is also an advantage if you have limited mobility from the waist down, the blokart will give you a freedom to move at great speeds and racing on equal terms.
Fully Portable
The blokart fits into a bag that measures only 1.2x.7x.2m, weighs just 25 kilos and can fit in the back of most cars. A clever design feature allows you to fix the wheels outside of the packed bag so you can pull it along – ideal for taking longer distances, or for taking through airports. Faaaast!
Whilst the blokart can roll along gently in a low breeze, higher winds have enabled speeds of up to 90kph!
Use Almost Anywhere
All you need to use your blokart is a breeze and a firm surface – the beach, a car park or recreation field. Quality Manufacture Three years of development have resulted in a well thought out design, and the use of the best quality materials for the job. Check out the “specifications” page for more details.

Dry-Land Sailing
Although his home town, Friona, Tex., is miles from any large body of water, Ray Landrum still goes sailing whenever he wants, but in a dehydrated fashion. He sails along the highway in a three-wheeled motorless vehicle called a Windmobile, which was built to his design by a local mechanic. In a brisk crosswind, the dryland sailer has hit 60 miles an hour. In the Windmobile, Landrum used the front axle, steering gear, brakes and three wheels from a 1934 Chevrolet sedan. The chassis consists of 1-1/2-inch pipe welded in a triangle. Three oil drums, welded into a long cylinder, form the body. Two cotton sails, both hoisted on one mast, propel the vehicle. A second mast, mounted between the two single seats, serves as a brace for the mainmast. The steering wheel is linked to the single wheel in the rear.

    A short introduction to land sailing or land yachting.
    http://www.sailingahead.com/information/land-sailing.htm
    An Introduction to Land Sailing
    The term “land sailing” refers to an extreme sport in which sails drag a boat-like vehicle across land, normally dried out lakes, beaches or fields in flat areas. The land sailing community is rather related with the one doing ice sailing rather than sailors like myself, who prefer their vessel on simple water. The vessels used by land sailors are normally called land sailer, land yacht, sand boat or – clearly the coolest – dirt boat . It is essentially a small boat with wheels and uses sails that are very similar to the ones in “classic sailing” or windsurfing. Today, the sport is very popular in the coastal areas of the US , in the Midwest and deserts of the Southwest. It works best in dry lakebeds or very flat areas, although some of the more hardcore land-sailors prefer challenging landscapes such as sand dunes. Urban land sailing is also done on empty parking lots, although this normally requires small, flexible dirt boats. In Europe, centers of the scene are in northern Germany , the United Kingdom and France Poland has a growing community of land sailors, too.

    Font Font You don't need water to partake in this sport. People of all walks of life are enjoying this sport. Read on and learn more about it.
    Places that land sailor's frequent are: parks, parking lots and hard sand, a urban environment.. Although in the past, land sailer's could be found in riverbeds. Those who engage in the sport love the tranquility and peace that experience.
    Other benefits are speed and the power of the wind. These vehicles really move. They are propelled five times the speed of the wind. In other words, a 14 mph wind will move the land boat at 40 mph, In fact the land sailing speed world record is 116.7 m.p.h.
    In order to move your vessel you by manipulating your sail across the wind.
