Transitional blokart sailing (transitioning between the blokart and iceboat...).

A couple of laps last Friday in freezing temperature. Next time I'll be sure to wear my facemask and goggles (and...

Here's a video from yesterday sailing around a 415' (126m) parking lot course.
I'm following the fellow who let me sail (and flip) his blokart many years ago.
This was his first time out in quite...

Outstanding photos! Really gorgeous.

We had a great weekend in Atlantic City!
Friday and Saturday the wind was in the upper teens and blowing across one of the runways, giving some serious power-reaching conditions.

Here's a video...

The east-coast blokart gang is hosting a three-day sailing event at the abandoned Bader Field airport next to Atlantic City on Oct. 8-10.
I'm sure there will be a bunch of east-coasters there. At...

If anyone is interested, I've found a very nice clamp mount for a GoPro-sized camera.

I've posted DIY instructions at: http://geoff-s.net/DIYBallHeadClamp/

And if you want to save the effort,...

Now that summer's here (and the iceboating is done) there's been some blokart sailing action here is Wisconsin.

Here's a very short video "teaser" from some sailing in a local parking lot a couple...

We have a new blokart sailor in Madison and I'm trying to put together a good starter-program for him.
If anyone has used stuff they could sell please let me know.
I'm looking for at least a kart,...

Lily's "party trick" is the following mode. I didn't see anything like that in...

I'm looking to buy a couple #3 mast-sections, ideally one or two 900 Carbon, or one 600 Carbon.

If anyone going to the NABSA or NALSA Ivanpah events has some they are willing to part with, please...

The ice was amazing. Most people commented it was something you see maybe once every ten years.

It was so hard that the runners had trouble biting in. Especially downwind, when the down-force is...

The SoCal folks have their New Years day tradition, and up here in the frozen north we do too:

The guys up in Minnesota have been sailing for weeks, and there's nice ice in Michigan.

Last weekend the DN "Great Western Challenge" moved further south/east than it ever has in 15+ years....

Best comment about SA, EVER!

I was intrigued by some of the shots in the 2014 blokart Worlds video taken with the camera mounted at the top of the mast. They were especially cool because the way the camera was mounted/angled it...

I'd be willing to drive anywhere in a...

Man, I wish I was closer to Montana... :-(
I've wanted one ever since I sailed one at the West River SC in the early '90s.
That would make a great addition to the iceboat, landsailer, and Laser......

Here's a short video tour of the latest iteration of the cascade down-haul system.
I ended up with two "budget" triple-block systems, one with the cleat on the block, and one with the cleat on the...
