I have seen some footage of landyachting in the USA on a grass feild. The guy made a specific yacht for it. And if I remmember right there was a guy at BSC who sailed his Blow Cart on his land.
But it's not the normal surface. Breaches or Airfeilds are the norm. I travel 2.5hrs one way to my club so you are close! ;-) |

Does it have to be on a beach or could you do it in a field? Cos my nearest is about 50mins away but there are plenty of farmers fields I could use?

Interesting crash today. Managed to watch my stub axle and wheel part company with my yacht and whizz past my head as I capsized around my now wheel less main axle. This was quite fun as it was blowing over 20mph so I was probable going somewhere near 50mph at the time. Oddly I just stepped out of my yacht as it stopped! :)

Thanks. It was a big grin factor even though the wind was light. I need to get use to the Class 5 but I felt I was getting it going toward the end of the evening. You were going well as ever. You even made my yacht look good! If the weather is good next weekend I'll definitely be down. |

Wind got up a bit last night your yacht went really well ( better if it was a Standart !! )
Will you be at Brean next weekend ?
