Re: Is Your Favorite Ride a Segway?

if we are going to expand the box outside of pavement machines, then my favorite ride (by far) is my HobieCat !

With a steady 20 kt wind the power available from the sails is roughly the same as a 20HP outboard

except the boat is competely silent, and the power curve is instantainious. When I pull the main sail tight you better be holding onto the boat!

Ive always wondered what it would be like to make a windpowered land based vehicle, that moved like a catamaran, but rides on captive rails (like a steel rollercoaster track) ?
