Summary
Pathe synopsis: Water doesn’t bother the land yachtsman who gather at a disused airfield near Leicester, whizzing around at 60 mph in home-made land-yachts that pose tricky navigational problems - all the spectacular thrills and spills of the sea - but on tarmac. [Shows preparations are for a race between the Gravely Club and a Club from Fylde in Lancashire.]
