sand yacht
Wind-powered beach vehicle
A sand yacht is a wheeled vehicle with a sail, designed to travel across beaches or flat desert terrain powered by wind.
It typically has three wheels and a mast, allowing the rider to steer while harnessing wind power much like a sailboat on water.
Also called a land yacht or sand sailer.
They raced sand yachts across the dry lake bed.
