Kingman Man Breaks Land Sailing Speed Record

A man from Kingman has broken the land sailing speed record.

The Mohave Daily News reports Scott Young piloted a wheeled vehicle with a sail attached over the Ivanpah Dry Lake near the Nevada-California border on Thursday.

Young's craft reached speeds of 65 mph – all powered by the wind – which broke a record set four years ago.

Casey Morell is the coordinating producer of Nevada Public Radio's flagship broadcast State of Nevada and one of the station's midday newscast announcers. (He's also been interviewed by Jimmy Fallon, whatever that's worth.)
