What kind of person takes up land yachting as a sport?

Land yacht pilots come from all walks of life. In the Kent club, we cover all age ranges with two members in the 70+ age group.
This is a sport where women can excel. The smaller class 5 yachts are very fast but easy to handle. A lighter pilot may gain extra speed, particularly on days when the wind is not very strong. Heavier pilots will benefit when the wind is really blowing. Any weight difference is much less important in the larger class 3 yachts. You do not need to be strong to sail a land yacht, and people with minor disabilities may be able to take this sport up.
To turn up on a cold windy beach early in the morning takes a certain amount of enthusiasm, but you can be sure that you will receive a warm welcome if you make the effort to come down to Kent Land Yacht Club.
