Right - one, the pic of the bloke in a rocket - WOT ON EARTH?!?!! is it so he can fall over face first and just slide at great speed along the ice? How can he move his legs in that little space?!

And 2nd, the Ice yacht wing jobby - its the design to be the fastest record holding doofery what-sit! Around 130mph ish! (yup, an engineering student always knows technical jargon  )

no the rocket look alike thing is actually the leading edge of a wing (wana be engineer here) and from the angle u cant make out the rest. its at that angle to get most amount of lift possible! weird i know oh and its on skates!
lifes to short to sail slow boats!

Ok - wing section makes sence! But it wont be for lift - otherwise he wud be pulled off to one side! It'll be a symetrical foil section, purely to enhance aerodynamics and make the old chap skate faster! Spose it helps when you get old, you start to slow down and all? Perhaps thats why my dads just got an RS vareo? humm!

Nah, I think the bloke iis standing in a wing section and he sails; he's leaning in to the wind and getting forward thrust.

Dosn't need to move his legs just get the right anglesand lean and he's off.
