Another of my son's land sailing video. This was taken at the sod farm near our house. we get to use the land that has had the grass stripped off. It is flat and hard packed, but there are ridges of sod about an inch wide every 2 feet so when you go across the grain, it gets kind of bumpy and the ride is rough.
we were able to sail at about 35kpm with a max speed this day of 42kpm. Tried to do some sliding turns.
You may note that I still don't have my Zooter out. I put a fiberglass seat to replace the cloth one that was falling apart. It looked good, but I forgot to check the height. The seat sat about 7 inches higher. I was rigging my mini and did not check before Mike took off in the Zooter. When he turned, he almost took his head off. Good thing he had a helmet. I am going to put the seat lower, but I am more and more convinced that this unit will be headed for the spare parts bin. Or it will be a dedicated ice boat.
The llf mini seamed to be working better with the new changes. I would appreciate any advice about the rigging
Sorry about the lack of good running shots in the video, but Mike was the editor and one cannot complain too much to artists.
