Hi Milosh - Land Yachting is also really good fun - you can reach speeds 3 times the speed of the wind when in sailing you can't acheive wind speed...

Oh that does look like fun. Id need help getting into and out of that 'Rig' , as it's so low.
I guess it's a lot like ordinary sailing ecept it's much faster?
I used to sail an Illusion with hand operated rudder control. Picture hopefully added, it's me in the right hand 'boat'.

Nice, wish I would have had that today, we've had 40-50mph wind since I woke up.
