Coming July 12, 2014. Sailing on land?! Yes! Check out the World Championships of Land and Sand Yachting this summer near Austin, Nevada. Come watch sailors representing 15 countries and 4 continents compete in various races over the course of a week on a windy, 6,000 foot high playa (dry lake). These fearless racers can reach speeds of up to 5 times the wind speed in light, steady winds with a record speed of 126.2 mph, set in March 2009!
