land yachts

Beach sailing machines

Land yachts are wind-powered vehicles with wheels and a sail, used for racing or recreation on beaches and flat terrain.

The term also applies informally to oversized American cars from the 1960s and 70s—long, heavy sedans that handled like boats: My grandfather's Cadillac was a real land yacht.
