landyacht / iceboat

[rkremser]

I am looking to build a landyacht but had some questions on the sail and the
rigging. What materials and shape should the sail be? I have seen a
picture of a "wing" sail but I was looking to make a more traditional cloth
sail. With the sail, other than size and shape, how does one attach it to
the mast? The last question that I had is about the sail rigging and
servos. I understand that one servo goes to the steering for the front
wheel but what is the setup for the sail controls? Thanks in advance.

Nautical reviews" sub section = "Land and Ice yachts

There are many sail rigging and handling hints on the yacht pages.
