LAND OF SPEED 

Congratulations Glen on becoming the world’s fastest dry land sailor!! Great seeing Grant and Ray along for the ride.❤

Never fails to impress this team❤

disappointing yall didnt talk at all about the design process thats one of the single most important aspects of the record attempt and it didnt get touched on at all. not a single mention of what differentiated your craft from the previous record owners

Good on Team NZ with all Sponsors. Everyone and Glenn👍. Inherently stable until it’s unstable. Seems ok doing 360’s at speed.

What an honour it was to meet & chat to Glen & the Crew in November (we were there for our annual Dry Lakes Racing Australia working bee prior to Speedweek in March) We race on & love Lake Gairdner, so to share the respect we all have for what we call "our hallowed ground" of racing was an awesome experience the whole club has been super excited by your success especially in the difficult times we know only too well. Congrats to all involved! (quietly looking forward to the teams next achievements!!)

Glen, you are a credit to yourself and the New Zealand team, well done.

Incredible talent, determination and perseverance, hats off… well done.

The official iceboat speed record remains the one set on Lake Winnebago, Wisconsin, way back in 1938. It was (hold your breath) 143 miles an hour.

Thanks for sharing your adventure and emotions. We, European landsailors felt your suspense. We know what fast sailing is.. Congrats to you and the whole team!

Just an amazing achievement! Go Team New Zealand!!

This was one of the greatest adventure I've seen in 2023 O.O I'd love some deep dive in how this machine works and the nerdy science of it but heck that's a fast sail land-boat :D

An extraordinary documentation of a supreme effort on the part of this team and driver and family. Actually a privilege to have been brought along for this ride. Thank you for posting.

I have never been so proud to be a Kiwi. Absolutely awesome bro ☝☝

What an epic feat. Now for the Americas Cup.

Far out you guys made it look pretty easy with your shorter updates during the process. Seeing that thing sliding around at 200km/h gave me the heeby jeebies! Well done to all involved. EPIC

Epic!! Tears of joy watching this.

Great achievement! Looking back at what a couple of guys in a garage managed to achieve with Iron Duck (another great video to watch) two decades previously is absolutely mind-blowing.

Yoz beyotay Glen. You do Aussie and NZ proud!

This man will never be done👊

Fabulous fabulous effort, Glen and all.

Stunning. Made me cry. Absolutely incredible !

love that its some aussies and doing this in Australia

These Kiwis can put a sail on anything and make it go fast, brilliant people,,the old KIWI CAN FLY TRICK

Friggen Awesome well done Team ❤

Awesome video, am I the only one who noticed the backwards monopoly?

Good on you Glen and team NZ

So epic-n-awesome!!!! Well done Glenn and Team - PROPA!!!!!!!!

congrats glen and the ETNZ... now back to the water.

Way to go team! love the spirit.

Top job Glenn and team NZ! Let me know next time ya need a lift up to the lake🤙 road train ready and waiting😂

I had heard of this in passing but never really knew much about it. This is incredible stuff. I've seen some ice sailing and that was cool but this is so intense and interesting. That takes a lot of commitment to do this. Not sure how that sail works. But it works! Great job to all involved!

Well done team. What an epic story, performance & achievement. I wish Burt was there to celebrate with you all. Now go fine a huge lemon tree and do it justice.

being rich and wealthy enables you to do everything the normal or poor cant ever dream

Very nicely done. A dream come true has to be great dream supported by an even greater effort. All the PPP's lined up perfectly. 😉

Proud to be a kiwi.

And here I was chasing an 85Knotts on water ! Well done guys ! At least you did not have cavitation , rough surface, and surface friction to contend with . Ah but then I had a few secret weapons . Hate to install that tech in a land sail ! Too scary - you drive !

Jeeze that canopy was the biggest risk factor of the entire project

MOst Excellent!!

I spent 15 years Windsurfing in the San Francisco Bay and occasionally on a 6 foot Skateboard Norblan Speed on Land 125mph on Land is Fast and Dangerous.

A obtuse angle beginning with a tension spring once reaching record or unstable speeds

My guess on design differences. #1 a ton more money spent. #2 A team effort Wing - tip smaller , Aspect ratio higher, = less drag,chord section more powerful. Chassis - lower to the ground = close the gap = less drag. Suspension. I don’t think Greenbird had suspension. Outrigger shorter and thinner = less drag. Two rear wheels instead of one. I believe they had steering issues at one point by not getting the for and aft ce right or the steering geometry was wrong. Interestingly the craft weighed 6000lbs (way more than Greenbird and over three times heavier than Iron Duck) and set the record in less wind - less drag wins over weight. The right guy was operating the craft.

A chassis that the 3rd wheel and arm is movable Meaning as top speed increases when car would become unstable it would only be standing upright

Distances up top final sail output

The fastest Indian and the fastest wind powered vehicle

Any edge in the America's Cup is good. No wind tunnel. Make this ticket instead.

Kinda weird this is the first I heard about this anywhere. good that support from sponsors allows people to do some fun activities that others appreciate. not sure i would say the record was smashed, but definity beaten. surely low level high speed wind foils and flying crafts are the next natural step. Chur the horonuku crew.

Wind power record by sail cart

Surprised how small the ”sail” appears. And they clearly need a better canopy design

WELL DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel like some mirror tints would have gone a long way to make this easier lmao

Try getting our new ac75 going this fast

World class

it's Sundaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! yeah trimming compulsion.... I've got an OCD too...

great job! one thing... give this man some motorccle jacket.... for safety reasons :)

What an achievement....

14/16' mast the record takes time

Use a railroad to launch rockets with electric assistance and a catapult. Where is the SONIC BOOM of rockets you would hear it. Meaning leaving the ground like a aircraft after sonic

Opposite side 3rd wheel you could drive out of wreck speeds

Well done.

No foil meaning weight in tracking is more crucial than lightweight

Is there a reason for 3 wheels Can car run 4 as a chassis with mast

Are there plans to go back to Aussie for another crack at it?

The range given because the force of gravity

Like a needle on the tach

Weight the 3rd wheel and stiffen structure of mast on the chassis. Should gain 20knot

I'd like to see a yawl-style trimaran setup. Sign me up to drive if anyone's building!

Well done team and great editing and story telling, didn't really like the short 1.30 minute clips you used to do

The fastest A-Class is still to be designed by Glenn 😅☝🏻⛵️

Quite the achievement, yes. Now, let's build a machine that can do it on both tacks...

Wow with all the knowledge you can gain just by reading some of the comments here you should easily gain another 30 or 40k's next time.

Rear car weight for a front setting 3rd wheel Crashes would be catastrophic

3rd wheel up front say 20' total length probably 4' off front

Has anyone thought of a wing flap on the outrigger? Just a thought

Kiwi flyer

Gain 10 mph by raising the rear of a 1978 Corvette hood. 1/2"

Don’t buy a used Toyta in Melbourne- it might have spent a few weeks covered in salt!

Pity you didn't talk to Richard. He was pretty surprised when you just scaled up his design without asking him about it.

😅2:10. Hang on! Cameraman too lazy to get up early? The sun doesn't move in that direction in Australia. This is sunset played backwards😂 31:09 That's more like it. That's the way the Sun goes in Aus right to left😊

Exact copy of greenbird and representing this as novel is a fraud.

The flat are wide open

Aussie Aussie oiy oiy oiy

thats it, isn't it.. when do you remove the water. so why don't you just build a glider?

Keep mast height same length. Car goes just as fast fat.

Kart lol😂

Okay. I could tweak that design to hit 150 mph. With completely new rig, 170

Those cars will be stuffed after all that salt

An achievement certainly (wonder why they decided to "shut it down at the end of the month" ?) ... but what did they learn that'll help with sailing a boat ? Sure, they kept the design team together. Sure they ultimately set the record. But how does this help ETNZ win the next AC ? Probably something that'll make to go faster would be a "fly-by wire" digital controller, since it seems to be difficult to keep the car balanced off the out-rigger.

I would jump in there.

How much money was spent on this endeavour?

Go Aussie

Me, me, me. I, I ,I. Get over yourself
