Pics from Mat. Mat drove out and picked up his land sailer in August. Not a small feat given that he lives in CO. He has been getting out to Ivanpah every chance he gets since then! - Thanks for the pics Mat. Glad you are having fun.

If you wondered if the Sirocco can run on grass here is your answer. These are just a few photos we did after sailing. Unfortunately I was doing a lot of coaching for these land sailing neophytes and did not get many pics. However a lot of people were taking pics and I should be able to add a few more shortly as they are Emailed in.
Eduardo Gonzalez from Venezuela tries a different kind of sailing.
ISCA President Jean Bergman on a quick spin.

The end of February we decided it was time to get out of town to test the Sirocco in the ultimate playground. We hopped on a plane to Vegas with 3 land sailors checked as baggage and flew to Los Vegas. From there we headed down to Ivanpah and Roach dry lakes on the Nevada / California border for a few days of hard core land sailing. We were not disappointed. In the 4 days we sailed in winds from 8 - 18 mph. It was also nice to sail in an area where we could run for MILES without stopping or turning. I hope to be able to organize an Sirocco rally out there in the next year. The sailing was excellent.
Days 1 and 2 - Ivanpah
Day 3 - Roach
(To get some better film, we decided to head to Roach where we could actually drive out onto the lake bed to do some filming. We set up the full suspension Sirocco since the lake bed is quite rough in spots. These shots are all taken from the car.)
01/21/02 Photos of Jack and Cole Young at El Mirage Dry Lake
Jack and his son Cole Young had prototype 3 out at El Mirage in CA over the weekend. Wind was estimated to be between 15 and 18 knots. A little dusty, but good fun all the same.
