Land Yachting is a great sport with a history that stretches back thousands of years. The modern day land yachts are both sleek and lightweight and are capable of travelling seriously fast with speeds of 50mph+ not uncommon....with no brakes! Land Yachting has become more and more popular and it's easy to see why; it is both adrenalin fueled and accessible, the yachts can be transported easily and the sport creates no noise, pollution or site damage. Extreme Elements One Day Introduction to Land Yachting is a great way into the sport and by the end of the course you will be well on your way to becoming a safe and competent Land Yachter; expect to get the bug!

Your session will start with a briefing covering safety and basic techniques before you start having a go in the Land Yacht; initially you will sail at low speed, mastering how to stop the Land Yacht (very important as it has no brakes!). You will then be taught how to turn the yacht and as your confidence builds you will move on to a figure of eight course which allows you to practice safe and controlled turns. You will then move on to learning more advanced skills such as gybe turns which will prepare you for moving up on to a larger circuit where you will start to experience performance sailing and the rush that this sport provides!
