Land Yachting
About this experience
Speed along and try your hand something different with this exciting morning of Land Yachting for one.
You may have seen these vehicles zipping around, powered by nothing but the wind and reaching speeds of over 40 mph, and now’s your chance to get into the driving seat and feel the speed for yourself. You’ll have plenty of time to get to grips with the controls, practising on a course designed to hone your skills before heading out onto the open plain to really get the wind in your sails.
These ultra-modern land yachts can travel three or four times faster than the wind speed, so even on a moderately calm day you should be shooting along hair-raisingly fast mere inches from the ground. An expert tutor will be on hand at all times to ensure you get the most that you can from your land-yacht, so expect an adrenaline-fuelled thrill ride from beginning to end and a sporting experience unlike any other.
