The X-Sail is a 3.5 or 4.5m stainless steel mini land yacht that folds down into a suitcase sized bag and stows easily in your boot or under the stairs. Witness 75 year-old grannies shrieking gleefully as they overtake their grandkids, and watch as dads and mums go head to head - but most of all watch the enamel come off everyone's teeth as the grins grow ever wider. The X-sail is very simple to use; hand steered like a bike and with only one sheet - the ropey bit - to control speed. It's so easy to learn that even small kids will be proficient enough to X-sail unattended in about ten minutes. A great introduction to the wind.
