Blokart Pro V3
🌬️ Experience the Thrill of Blokart Sailing!
Ready to harness the wind and feel the speed? Blokart Sailing is an exciting, accessible and easy-to-learn outdoor adventure that puts you firmly in control.
A Blokart is a lightweight, three-wheeled land yacht powered by a sail, similar to the sails used on small dinghies. Instead of water, you’ll be racing across a suitable open surface, using the wind to power your kart.
🏁 Easy to Learn. Easy to Enjoy.
Blokart sailing is a rapidly growing sport, largely because it’s so accessible and easy to get started.
Blokarts can be packed down into a compact carrying bag that fits comfortably in the boot of most cars. They’re also small enough to travel with, making them ideal for holidays, events and even international competitions.
And almost anyone can take part!
Blokart sailing is suitable for people from around 8 to 80, making it a fantastic activity for young people, adults, families and groups.
♿ Sailing Without Limits
One of the things that makes Blokarting so special is its accessibility.
The Blokart is controlled using your hands, meaning that height, size or limited lower-body mobility doesn’t have to be a barrier to enjoying the sport.
People with paraplegia, prosthetic limbs and a wide range of disabilities can participate and compete alongside able-bodied sailors.
It’s a sport where the wind is the great equaliser — everyone gets the chance to experience the thrill of sailing.
💨 How Fast Can You Go?
Don’t let the simplicity fool you — Blokarts can be seriously quick!
Depending on the conditions and sail being used, Blokarts can reach speeds of up to twice the actual wind speed.
With four different sail sizes — 5.5m, 4m, 3m and 2m — you can select the right setup for the wind conditions and sailor, from gentle cruising to exhilarating high-speed sailing.
🛡️ Safe, Simple and Exciting
Blokarting is incredibly easy to learn, with most people quickly getting to grips with the basics.
As with any active outdoor activity, appropriate safety equipment and sensible precautions are essential. With the right protection and suitable conditions, Blokart sailing provides an exciting and enjoyable experience for a wide range of ages and abilities.
🌬️ Catch the Wind. Feel the Speed.
Whether you’re trying something completely new, looking for an accessible outdoor adventure or simply want to experience the thrill of powered-by-wind speed, Blokart sailing has something for everyone.
No engine. No fuel. Just you, your sail and the wind.
🏁 Get strapped in. Catch the breeze. Let the adventure begin!
