Here is a little video of one of the little landsailors that some of you seem to be interested in after seeing my pics http://www.windpowersports.com/multimedia/manta-hi.wmv

This guy is actually going pretty slow i think

How about tiny-er...

RC Land Sailing Remote Controled Landsailing

There is a pretty good video on the site: Video of the Windjammer

Matt,
That is VERY cool. I guess the problem would be to find an empty parking lot.

there is another type of RC landsailor, I wish I couldremember the name, they are a little smaller, but not as expesive, and most would say more realistic design. Kinda worthless info though, cause I'm not sure they are sold only, maybe just at the regattas. I've seen those windjammers on ebay before.

There is one for sail in the back of the Murrays Catalog, the Ludic Land Yacht

Do the lifesize landsailors, with real people in them, capsize like those remote-controlled models? Looks like it could be painful.

Wicked 360-skid in the first link- and that was a real guy sailing it, not an RC version!

They actually do capsize (at least the ones we had sailing on the large tidal beaches in Europe)...usually they will land on the mast and if you're lucky the side stays will hold...If not, they will make a full 180 and that's when it gets dangerous...getting a landyacht on your neck is not a good thing.

The mantas don't have stays, they have and aluminum frame holding the mast, you can capsize but it just kinda falls over and bounces around,(seen it, haven't done it) Incedentily we do have seat belt and when the wind is blowing good we were motorcycle helmets, if its REALLY blowing good(mind you at this time, My buddy and I tend the be the only two sailing,) I also wear my motorcycle jacket with the kevlar/carbon pads. Its been my experience that they are hard to capsize, if you get into trouble its usually with the steering, and if you just drop the mainsheet the boat will do a few of those nifty 360's like in the first video, when you ge tyour bearing you take off again. The big boats are a little differnet storie, their sailors really don'tpush them up enbough to "fly a hull" (wheel) they are a little too valuable, but htey are also not designed to do that, the axels are super wide. Landsailing is a little different in the absolutely no one is going to risk a collision, that would be fairly disasteous in any of these boats, so you stay well clear despite any right-of-way rules you think that other guy is breaking, In fact I think that the upwind boat has the only right of way, otherwise its everyone's responsibility to avoid.
