What is  the agenda for the activity?  What can participants expect?
Your Land-yachting experience includes van pick-up and drop-off from any Las Vegas Strip hotel.  Pick-ups are generally scheduled around 12:00 Noon.  Once all participants are onboard, there will be a 30-minute drive to the staging area.

At the staging area, and once all paperwork is complete, participants will be provided a brief orientation on the class 3 land-yacht.  Land-sailing instruction will include how to set sail and harnessing the wind for motion, tacking, and stopping your land-yacht.  After the initial instruction, participants are allowed to explore the terrain and practice what they’ve learned in self-directed exercises.  At the end of the day, mini-regatta-style racing competitions will take place with minor prizes provided to overall winners.

Total driving/sailing time is approximately 2 hours with participants being dropped off at their hotels around 4:00PM.  Complimentary snacks and cold beverages will be provided.  Free pictures of the land-yachting session will be distributed to the participants via email.

Note:  a limited number of two-seater land-yachts are available upon request.

What should the participants bring or wear?  Is all equipment included?
All equipment will be provided, however, participants should dress in comfortable clothing that you wont mind getting dirty.  Long sleeved t-shirt is recommended to help protect from the sun.  Also, participants should wear athletic shoes, sunglasses, sunscreen, and a brimmed hat.  Remember to bring medications which you may need on any trip (i.e. asthma inhaler, bee sting kit, etc.).  Complimentary snacks and cold beverages will be provided.  Don’t forget your camera!

How long should the participants allow for the activity from start to finish?
Your land-yachting experience will begin at approximately 12:00 Noon with a van pick-up from your Las Vegas hotel.  You can expect to be returned to your hotel around 4:00PM.
