That would be friggin' cool as hell with no noise other than the wheels on the ground and the wind.  [thumbsup]

It takes a true mad-scientist to take an out-rigger canoe, stick a glider knife edge on top, and slap some wheels on the bottom and see what happens.

oh I'm here.   I folllow the wind records pretty closely.   the sailboats are particularly interesting right now with hydroptere flipping recently and sailrocket's recent high flip.  google hydroptere for some amazing clips.

I love this stuff.
