PD World Land Speed Record
This record is about using your PD as a land sailer, blown by the wind. Since our motto is cheap, creative and having fun on the water, this is a bit of a stretch, so there is an additional rule specifying water under the hull. With some creative apendages, a PD should be able to sail in parking lots, beaches etc. You might even do something as simple as adding a 3rd wheel to your boat trailer, and using that.

Uncle John has a great set of plans for a land sailing car, for the plans [click here] He brought the first prototype, to the first world PD championship [click here]

Land Speed Rules:
1 - Boat does NOT have to be setup in class legal configuration
2 - May use any vertical or horizontal fins, or wheels & attached apparatus such as frame, structures etc. Also the hull may end up only being a cockpit for the land sailor carridge, but that is OK for this challenge.
3 - Skipper must remain in the boat for the entire distance, however all crew may be changed without limitation.
4 - Boat must be propelled by mother nature or human, no motors. Towing with a bicycle is OK, coasting down hill is OK.
5 - For distance record, you may make laps, if you have a GPS that logs distance travelled, you may use that for calculating distance travelled (does not have to be point to point).
6 - For speed record, you can use peak GPS or submit other means that used to calculate speed.
7 - Water must go, or be under the hull at some point in the record attempt. This might be as simple as duct taping a bottle of water under the hull, going over a puddle, or having the final stretch run into the lake.
This record shall be reset at the end of each year.
