That looks kick-ass! Much better having the sail behind you too - better view

Very cool. There was an old "ice boat" design that had a similar configuration and used wind surfing sails. I had a similar set up on the very first
sled I built , turned me into a weathervane pretty quickly. Good luck , should be a wicked fun buggy!

very cool Ruudje....
please keep us(me) posted.
i'd love to see a closer look at all the running rigging and stuff.
-no, i am not going to copy/steal your design.
i have a Sirocco Sprint (which uses windsurfer sails/mast and a custom boom) and am interested in all these size landsailers.
just interested in how you succeed with main sail behind pilot.
-also...planting a bug for a twin seat landsailer.
one more thing....your sled should be thoroughly tested in Northwest Canada particualry in Edmonton Alberta and i know a fella that could prolly do it:D
