Blake at Walls lakeSouthwest Landsailing is Back. Sorry for the long delay; it takes a lot longer to rebuild a completely crashed site than I ever imagined! several of the pages are still being built, but the most used ones are up.
     The landsailing season is here the America's Cup was a great success with good wind and many races in all NALSA classes BlowKarts were there with a separate event, running many races with about 30 racers fron New Zealand and the US and a way-of- the-future electronic scoring system.
World landsailing speed record still holds. Although there have been many attempts at setting a new record, Bob Dill and Bob Schumacher are still the fastest at 116.7 mph (187kph). The record was attained in 1999 in the Iron Duck, a fixed wing asymmetrical craft. (more info)

Landsailing has come a long way in the last few years with significant development in both the open (big, fast) classes and the emerging mini yacht class. Aggressive marketing by Blokart has rekindled the interest in small, portable landsailers.
