Land yachting combines the grace of sailing with the adrenalin buzz of motor racing – imagine yourself sitting a few inches from the ground and racing your friends and family across the sands at top speed. It requires no previous sailing experience and the basic skills can be mastered within 15-20 minutes.

Suitable for ages 12+yrs. If you have a small awesome person who is between 8 and 12 and wants to join in, have a look at our Twin Land yacht. This is for one adult and one child. We run these on the same sessions as our single land yachts, they just have to be booked separately. 

What you will learn

First, you’ll receive a full demonstration of how to sail the BloKart Land Yacht  before going out to practice controlling the sail and steering. You will learn how to turn, speed, up slow down and how to stop. When you are ready, we will use cones to plot out a course for you to follow to practice your turns. When you are proficient, we lengthen the course so you can increase your speed. You can sail at 2x the wind speed so a 15mph wind = sailing at 30mph! You’ll be given continuous tuition from your instructor throughout the session, as your confidence builds and you start sailing faster and faster. 

Itinerary

1. Meet us at the far end of the West Sands beach, St Andrews, where you will see the Blown Away Land yacht trailer. To find this drive past the Blown Away Shack this the third wooden building on your right as you drive down the beach road, you can call in here on your way back to see our cool hoodies hats and T-shirts.

2. Arrive 10 minutes before your session and we will get you checked in and size you up for a helmet and gloves if you
require them.

3. We'll head down to the beach and teach you the basics of sailing a land yacht.

4. You will be on the land yacht for just over an hour so visit the bathroom before suiting up, public toilets are available
across the road from the Blown Away shack, and there are some more public toilets half way down the beach road, they are the cream brick building on your left.  

What to bring

1. Warm clothing, its going to be windy so dress appropriately. 

2. Socks and trainers for your feet are the best
option. 

3. Sun cream (the sun is always shining in St Andrews!)

4. Glasses or sun glasses helps to keep the sand
out of your eyes. 

5. A drink, after any exercise, it is important
to stay hydrated.

6. Good Vibes!

Please take into consideration the weather, all of our sessions are weather dependant. We take what we get and we don't get upset! We usually manage to make the most of what the weather gods give us! If it is too windy or not windy enough to land yacht, we will usually offer an alternative session time when the wind looks more stable or if you only have this time slot available, we could also offer a kayak, surf or paddle board session. Please keep an eye on your emails, specifically a couple of days before your session, just in case we need to amend your booking. Thanks for understanding.
