El Mirage Lakebed - NO DONUTS / NO DRIFT WITH VEHICLE.
What is Landsailing? Zipping across the hard-packed beach or desert dry lake in any one of an assortment of wind-powered vehicles. More specifically, a three wheeled metal frame or fiberglass body with a mast and a sail.
Who does it? Adventurers and speedsters of all ages.
A slow day we are going 25-30 mph, but who wants to go slow? Due to the speeds we recommend caution introducing kids to the sport when they are ready. The land yachts are small but pack on the speed. Adults up into their eighties participate regularly in the sport! Bring a DOT motorcycle helmet, goggles or full coverage sun glasses, and leather gloves to protect your hands (garden gloves, sailing gloves etc) if you have them! and Sun Screen and WATER
