Welcome to this exhilarating sport which combines the grace and beauty of sailing with the speed and thrills of motor racing. Modern sand or land yachts can be propelled by winds of less than 10 mph and can travel at between 2 and 3 times the speed of the wind, reaching speeds in excess of 60 mph. Believe me, this is some speed when your backside is about an inch off the ground whistling past underneath you!
It is far from easy to convey the thrill of sailing a deserted beach whilst harnessing the power of the wind so go a have a blast yourselves.
