| What is skisailing? Skisailing is the mountain sport that combines two traditional Norwegian sports - sailing and skiing. The newly developed SkiSail-concept gives you the possibility of sailing against the wind, over white snow-covered hills or lakes, and even up steep mountains. SkiSail has, among other adventurers, been used by Borge Ousland on his Trans Antarctica expeditions: A light breeze will bring you wherever you want, over the hills. From 6 m/s you are finding yourself sailing up steep mountains. With experience you can exceed speeds of over 50 mph! SkiSail is easy to handle. You control the direction with your skis. The sail is controlled with a gentle touch on the control bar used as a joy-stick. |

| SkiSail NASA Most of the beginners will be able to sail with these delta-shape SkiSails after 15 minutes of try and fail. Developed by NASA, and rigged by SkiSeil A/S.

It is however also a fantastic light wind sail. The smallest sail of 4 m2 has two main uses. It may be used as a storm-jib in a gale wind, but it is also a fun sail for kids learning skisailing. We advice you to have the combination of a 11m2 and a 4m2 in your back pack. The weight for this combination is only 2,9 kg. and gives you sail for wind forces from 2,5 m/s till gale! |
