A wind powered vehicle having a platform (10) and a sail (152) mounted by a mast (90) to an upper surface (12) of a platform. A pair of elongated runners (14 and 16), such as snow skis, water skis, skates pontoons or the like are pivotally secure to opposite sides of the platform so that the runners are spaced apart and parallel to each other. The platform (10) is pivotal with respect to the runner between a first and second position. In its first position, one runner is spaced forwardly of the other runner and both runners tilt about their axis in the same direction. In the second position, the other runner is spaced forwardly of the first runner and both runners are tilted about their longitudinal axis in the opposite direction. An improved sail system (15) is also disclosed in which a sail (152) is mounted at a midpoint to the upper end of the mast (90) and pivotal substantially 180<o> along two perpendicular axes as well as vertical about the mast (90). |
