About Blokart

If you haven’t met a Blokart, read this!

Think of a Blokart as a mini land yacht, fast, fun, safe and comparatively affordable, and you won't be too far wrong.  They have a 3-wheeled steel chassis that is light strong and protective.  Drive is produced by the single hand controlled sail (2,3, or 4 sq.m) and you steer with a hand tiller bar.

They are amazingly easy to sail, and are suitable for young and old – age 8 to 80 alike.  Most people take minutes to get going, it's just the finesse that takes a while to learn !  Blokarts are fast and feel it as pilots are so low to the ground; but they are safe – you are strapped in and protected by metal.

Blokarts can be used almost anywhere - from beaches to car parks, sports and recreation areas, tennis courts and even on ice.  They pack into a neat easy to wheel or carry bag that will fit in the boot of most cars and can be assembled in minutes with no tools.  You just need to know whether it’s windy or not !

Paul Beckett invented the Blokart in New Zealand in 1999, building them in a mix of light and extremely durable steel and fibreglass.  About 1,000 a year are produced and a rapidly growing network of dealers covers Europe, UK, Japan, USA and Australia. 

Shortly after its launch the Blokart was awarded the Innovations Award at Soltex, Manchester. In 2001 it was named best summer hardware product at the ISPO sporting goods fair in Munich, being described as “perfect in every detail”.

Now Speedsail UK is one of the main UK dealers and certainly the company with the most experience and product knowlegde, following 4 years as the UK and Southern Irelands distributor.
