Apparent Wind Explained - Blokart

Iain Percy, Tactician and Manager for Artemis Racing demonstrates the concept of apparent wind on a Blokart at the 35th America's Cup in Bermuda. Harnessing the power of apparent wind allows crafts like the America's Cup Class yachts and Blokarts to travel up to three times the wind speed. With their nimble build and minimal surface friction, Blokarts reach typical speeds of 17 knots upwind and 35 downwind, comparable to and often surpassing water sailing-all the speed of high-performance sailing, with the flexibility of racing on land.
