Blown Away Land Yachting Experiences

Land yachting combines the grace of sailing with the adrenalin buzz of motor racing – imagine yourself sitting a few inches from the ground and racing your friends and family across the sands at top speed

A landyacht is a three wheeled land based craft with a fixed mast and wind surfing sail where the pilot is sitting/lying down using the hands to control the sail and the feet to control the steering. It can be used on a beach, car park or any open space – as long as there is wind to power the sail.
It requires no previous sailing experience and the basic skills can be mastered within an average of 15-20 minutes.

The experience will be based around a half day session at varying locations throughout Scotland, but we can take our land yachts to any location throughout Scotland.

Frequently used Blown Away venues are:
West Sands-St Andrews, fife See Map
Lunan Bay-Arbroath, Angus
Belhaven Bay Dunbar, East Lothian

West Sands, St Andrews as our main location as it is fairly central, well known and easy to get to.

The session starts with the all important safety brief and kit issue. Our BLSA instructors will talk you through the basic techniques and give you a quick demo before you have a go in the land yacht. As the session progresses you will master how to start and stop the land yacht and do basic turns. Then as your confidence grows, you will perfect figure of eight turns giving you greater flexibility with the craft and before you know it, you will be racing along the beach against your friends and experiencing the buzz that land yachting can bring.
As you will have mastered the art of Landyachting you can have some time for free sailing before the presentation of awards.

They are suitable for anyone brave enough to try it. The max weight is 16.5 stone or 105 kg, although perceived as an extreme sport with speeds reaching up to 35 miles per hour, almost anyone can do it, and it’s fun!!

All you need is a little wind.
