"Landsailer Sailing Instructions"

Steering the Landsailer

There are two things to consider when operating your landsailer: 1)
steering the front wheel, referred to as the "rudder wheel", and 2)
angling the sails referred to as "trimming the sail"

1) The rudder wheel allows you to steer your landsailer in the direction
in which you want to travel. The wheel is controlled by moving the right
joystick located on your remote control. Moving the joystick from right to
left will turn the landsailer to the left. Moving the joystick from left to
right will allow the landsailer to turn to the right.

2) The angle of the sail, as compared to the wind, will allow you to
control the speed of the landsailer. The angle, or "trim", is controlled by
moving the left joystick up or down. Moving the joystick down moves
the sail out or away from the center of the body, or hull, of the landsailer.
Moving the joystick up brings the sail closer to the center of the hull.

Because you canít sail directly into the wind, in order to get to a point
directly upwind, you must tack, or turn, through the wind and zigzag
upwind towards your destination.

In order to tack, turn the landsailerís front through the wind. Keep the
sail trimmed in so that you keep up your speed as you turn through the
wind.

To help you get started, the instructions below will provide you the
correct sail angles known as "sail trim" in relationship to wind direction.
Finding the best balance between the sail trim, the landsailerís direction
of travel, and the wind direction will allow you to obtain the greatest
speeds.
