Strandsegler aus Bambus

James Wolf -- http://www.jameswolfdesigns.com/
-- I am currently building and will shortly be testing a landyacht that is a first of it’s kind. Firstly, I am building it in Vietnam, and it is surely the first landyacht in Vietnam. Secondly, I am building it from bamboo! I am an industrial designer, and run a bamboo factory here near Saigon. We export some of the finest bamboo furniture and bamboo architecture in the world. I had the idea to make a landyacht my self, (I had never seen or heard of them before) and designed a couple of models in bamboo. Then a few days ago I discovered it is a worldwide thing and found information on the internet. I am thrilled to be a part of the family, and want to let you all know that I am making bamboo landyachts in Vietnam. I hope to share my story with you and get feedback too. I hope to develop landyachts for the beach and then for the sand dunes. I know that there will be a lot of learning to be done and there will be big challenges in the soft sand. If anyone knows anything about soft surface sandtachts, or you are curious about my bamboo constructions, feel free to email me.

See at the right side the sand yacht made from bamboo.
Thank you very much.
Wishing best success to you.
ARAM from Germany

Established in 1974 on the plains of western Kansas to build Sailtrikes*, RANS has evolved into a world leader in the ever growing recumbent bike and kit plane industries. Setting the standard of innovation in these exciting fields, RANS uses cutting edge technology to produce safe, high quality aircraft and bicycles.

Walk-in tours and bike demos are given daily on demand and begin at our factory location. For flight demos please call one day or more in advance. Normal business hours are 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM week days, and weekends by appointment.
Production shift ends at 3:00 PM. Large tours, schools, and special groups require advance notice.

manufactured by RANS from 1974 through 1981.

Out on the rolling prairies of western Kansas, inventor Randy Schlitter has made a breakthrough in the art of landsailing. Randy's manufacturing company (RANS, Inc., Dept. TMEN, 408 Milner, Hays, Kansas 67601 . . . please include $2.00 when requesting information) has been producing a vehicle called the sailtrike at the rate of one per day for some four years now. Schlitter's company currently offers five sailtrike models, including a racer and a tandem . . . all of which are street legal (since they're classified simply as bicycles that are equipped with sails) and come complete with safety features (each has a flexible mast that absorbs shocks from violent gusts and a sail that can be reduced from 30 to 20.7 square feet to adapt to different wind velocities).

Randy's trikes can generally travel up to three times as fast as the prevailing winds (except in gales of 30 MPH or more, where air resistance tends to decrease the ratio of wind speed to sailing speed) . . . and, though the sailtrike is basically a sport machine, Randy is convinced that a wind-propelled vehicle can be used as a practical means of land transportation. Schlitter has already put a pedal-less land-sailer into production. "And," he says, "I've drawn up plans for the world's first sail-powered trailer truck!" — David Ernst.

Garnett - 1960

First, in 1960, there was William Garnett, who had a little model on wheels which drove the front wheel. It had eight sails, slightly coned, with the hub to windward of the mast but the centre of sail area to leeward. It was also raked to leeward, to provide lateral balance. It went forwards in any wind direction, but unfortunately it did not go as fast as a normal sail. On the other hand, it did stay up in winds where normal sails fell over, so the model could actually have taken a larger wind turbine for the same stability.
