I’ve always wondered how big could these get? Like could we have a jib staysail or mizzenmast? Most of the ones I’ve seen look like larger wind surfers in gokarts. Is there something similar to flying a hull like with beachcat sailing? Looks like a blast that I would love to try someday.
Well, I’ve heard stories of landsailing wagons in ancient China carrying dozens of passengers, but it’s not something I’ve gone looking for history about.
There are also ice sailers that run on blades, but I’ve only ever seen 1 and 2 person “sleds” for that.
I think the size limit just comes down to the practicality, not the sailing mechanics. There are only a few areas with smooth flat land or ice, and mostly they aren’t large. Not like water lakes and oceans.
