My first concern was the steering set up. I purchased a 550lb castor wheel ,fork and a bearing set up all in one..I have a boat traler axle a 2x2 T frame with 2x2
supports from 8" from the wheels going forward to the mast step..I am still in the assembly process..My plans are to use a boat push pull steering cable attached to
an extension of the axle and a boat steering adapter mounted to the frame...This will all come back to a bench seat with a steering wheel... a jam cleat to the sail board sail...I really am in the experimental stage...This site seems to be on top of all the particulars.....Looking for any help..

Taking a guess but perhaps you should post this in the land sailing section?

Or a land kite, which explains the wrong area better

Don't take offence to what these guys say chocsea.

They wouldn't know anything about lying down and travelling feet first at 80 kmph with 2mm of vinyl and 50mm of air between their arses and the bitumen.
