Details: Kirrawee Land Yachts were run by Roger Gosbee, an enthusiastic land yacht pilot since he was only eight years old! Roger has recently left for pastures new, all the way to New Zealand.... and the business is now run by Paul Sullivan. He has been Land Yachting for a number of years and is assisted by Kevin Cross.

Paul is based in New Romney which is on the Romney Marsh in Kent. Kirrawee Land Yachts UK is only minutes from Greatstone, one of the finest land yachting sites in the U.K. Paul can be found most weekends at the beach, wind permitting. If you're in the area, why not pop along and watch the exciting sport of land yachting.

We organise training courses for complete beginners through to pilot's licence level, and take bookings for individuals, groups and corporate parties. Land yacht hire is available to suitably experienced pilots.
Modern land yachts are fast and enjoyable. They can be dismantled quickly and transported easily. Land yachting is a truly green sport with no noise, pollution or site damage. Why not contact Kirrawee Land Yachts now for help, advice and.....encouragement!

Training with Kirrawee Land Yachts is an ideal way to sample land yachting for the first time. You may simply wish to have a go, or perhaps you are thinking of taking up this exciting sport. Another popular choice is to buy a gift voucher for a friend or partner. We get lots of father and son/ mother and daughter combinations as well!

Prices
We can offer a taster session lasting 3 hours for £60.00. If you would like longer we also have a 4 hour session for £70.00 and a 6 hour session for £90.00

We can also cater for Stag and Hen groups or just groups of friends wanting to have a fun day out. Contact Paul for prices.

Training day
On the day of your course, and after the briefing, your instructor will start by showing each member of the group how to bring the land yacht to a halt. Remember, these craft do not have brakes!
When you have mastered the art of stopping, you will progress to your first steering manoeuvres, called luff turns. During a luff turn, the nose of the land yacht turns first towards, then into, and finally away from, the direction of the wind. Luff turns are gentle and quite easy to perform.
Having proved your ability to carry out controlled luff turns, your instructor will set up a figure of eight course. Each turn that you do will be a luff turn. The course may be extended so that you travel further (and faster) between the markers that you are sailing around, whilst all the time improving your ability to control the machine.
