land sailing

Wind-powered desert racing

Land sailing is traveling over land in a wheeled vehicle powered by wind, using a sail mounted on a frame.

The craft, also called a land yacht or sand yacht, typically runs on flat terrain like beaches or dry lake beds.

Land sailing can reach speeds over 100 miles per hour in ideal conditions.
