What is "land sailing"?
Land sailing is a recreational and competitive activity where a vehicle, typically with large wheels or skates, is powered by wind. The vehicle, called a land yacht or sand yacht, has a sail that catches the wind to propel it forward. Riders steer the vehicle while balancing speed and control. Land sailing is often done on open fields, beaches, or dry lake beds, where large, flat areas are ideal for the activity. The sport combines elements of sailing and motorsports, and it can be a thrilling experience for those who enjoy wind-powered activities.
Examples
The beach was ideal for land sailing due to its flat, wide expanse and steady breeze.
