faster than the wind
only on the ice, you can sail faster than the country. Beach sailors reach more than 120 kilometers per hour.
you need at least three wind strength (Beaufort) to overcome the relatively high initial rolling resistance. In the country increases, in contrast to the ship but not the resistance with increasing travel. Thus, wind and wind add much more than on the water to the "apparent wind". The result is that sailors can go beach "faster than the (true) wind." Because they do, raise the wind and wind also, if a beach sailors trying to make like a ship driven before the wind (tail wind). The yacht remains are just a short time. Therefore, cross beach sailors "from roll" before the wind,. Today, all three wheels beach sailors and are controlled via the front wheel.
