Okay, I know there are a few of you buggiers out there that also do some land sailing.

I'm looking for an objective comparison of the Manta and the Blokart. Can someone point me to one? No holy wars please.

Thanks.

I've decided to go with the Manta TwinJammer w/ Axle, Hex Ratchet Block & Bracket Upgrades $2235 with the Hi Float Tire Upgrade $50 from Wind Power Sports (http://www.windpowersports.com/landsailers/) rather than the Blokart because, dollar for dollar the Manta Twin is:
1. Cheaper,
2. Seats two, no extra side cars to buy,
3. Cheaper,
4. Longer (thus smoother ride),
5. Wider (thus smoother ride),
6. More sail,
7. Cheaper,
8. Corey can use the money from the sale,
9. Did I mention, Cheaper

Objective differences?

Mantas are bigger and don't break down like the Blokart.
The mast, boom and sail are removed, but the length and width of the frame/axle remain.
A small trailer makes it very convenient for a single person to load and unload.
The Blokart packs into a convenient bag that can even be shipped.

The Manta is more stable and has a higher top speed than the Blokart, but top speed isn't really much of an issue.
Both are capable of going fast enough.

The Manta costs less than a Blokart.

Both work great.
The essential issues are convenience and durability.
Choose from the features than will give you the most value.

Helpful?
