A Land Sailer Is A Wind Powered, 3 Wheeled, Vehicle That Is A Real Thrill To Ride
Yes,I know it's not a bike BUT, the landsailer sure is cool!
A land sailer is essentially just a three wheeled go-cart that has a sail and is powered by the wind. It has light-weight wheels for nice hard surfaces and optional balloon wheels for firm but softer surfaces. Beaches, dry lake beds, open playing fields all make good places to sail the Wind Chaser® .
The Wind Chaser®
is one of the most affordable ones on the market. It even has a hand brake.
Wind powered vehicles are experiencing a great surge in popularity these days. Not only are they fun and exciting, but they cost nothing to run! Those who enjoy having a very "green recreation" or who could care less, enjoy this sport and tend to group together to form clubs for the sharing of information, events, casual competition racing or setting speed records.
The Wind Chaser® builds on that concept of simplicity to create a design that is inexpensive, easy to assemble, has the steadiness of a "non-racer", is easy to learn and can be sailed by anyone, and can be quickly and easily stowed in almost any car.
These vehicles are reportedly capable of speeds up to four times the wind speed. So,you need to always wear a helmet, safety belt, gloves,and eye protection, and exercise extreme caution at all times.
Land sailing works best in windy, flat areas - taking place mainly on sandy beaches at low tide, air fields, and dry lake beds in desert regions, and salt flats. But any hard or firm, fairly even surfaced, wide open area will do. Areas with asphalt or cement surfaces like parking lots or hard sand are now popular sites for land sailing.
The Wind Chaser® can be easily assembled and disassembled in 5 to 10 minutes. Fits into four bags all less than 4 feet in length and 22 lbs or less in weight and made to transport easily in any vehicle.
Above all, the Wind Chaser® is fast and easy to learn to sail for everyone. Just keep the wind to one side or another or even from the back. Steer with your feet on the handy foot bars, let the sail control rope (the main sheet) in or out to control your speed and you are there! There is even a hand brake to help you slow down.
It has a, low maintenance, molded body with powder coated steel chassis for quick wheel and steering assembly.
The 35.6 square foot sail slips over the mast to attach boom, sheet line and blocks.
The maximum load capacity is 225 lbs
There are optional balloon tires for beach and desert use.
