Experience the thrill of landsailing in a light wind-powered kart that can reach speeds up to 100km/h as you zoom along just inches above the ground. Even with all this speed, it is absolutely safe. After a few minutes of instruction anyone can do it, even with no prior experience. It is enjoyable and a family-suitable activity. While easy to learn, true skill and practice are needed to master landsailing and blokart racing!

The earliest known use of landsailing vehicles, or "land yachts", was in Ancient Egypt, where they were apparently built for leisure. The Chinese had "wind-driven carriages" since the 6th century AD, during the Liang Dynasty, and eventually mounted masts and sails on large wheelbarrows. The precursor to the modern land yacht was invented in the 16th century by the Flemish scientist Simon Stevin in Flanders as a commission for Prince Maurice of Orange. It was used by Prince Maurice for entertaining his guests. In 1898, the Dumont brothers of De Panne, Belgium, developed a land yacht whose sails were based on contemporary Egyptian sailboats used on the Nile River. The first races were held on the beaches of Belgium and France in 1909. Land yachts were also used in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to transport goods on dry lakes in the United States. The modern land yacht, a three-wheeled polyester/fibreglass and metal cart, often with a wing-mast and relatively rigid (full-batten) sails, has been used since 1960.

Blokarts are of identical design as supplied by the New Zealand manufacturer. Blokarts are steered by a tiller using the hands. Blokarts are capable of speeds up to 62.5 miles per hour (100.6 km/h).

Blokart Racing
Blokart competitions are run using rules as set out by the International Blokart Racing Committee (IBRA). The IBRA rules are designed to work on a small course like blokart heaven, to larger beach and dry lake venues. Blokart had its inaugural world championship at Blokart Heaven, Papamoa, New Zealand in October 2008. Blokart events are held around the world, with events such as New Zealand Open, European Open, Australian Open, and the Ivanpah Open in the US.
Blokarts are sailed as two classes – production and performance, where additional performance parts from the manufacturer are allowed such as carbon fibre mast sections and an aerodynamic shell. Other modifications allowed in performance are adjustable downhaul and modification of the sail battens to alter the shape of the sail. Blokarts have four standard sail sizes, 2 meter, 3m, 4m and 5.5m, with sail size choice being dependent on wind strength and weight of the sailor, with heavier sailors requiring larger sails, and smaller sails being more efficient in stronger winds.
