Return of the Land Schooner

During the Alaskan gold rush a group of Wall Streeters came up with a serious proposal to build a kind of covered wagon with sails that would "skim" across the Canadian shield in no time at all. Having crossed the boggy Canadian shield by train I have to say it didn't look that "skimmable." Today, the land schooner has morphed into the petrosail trike, which does all the work for you...if the wind is right. Note that the rider is not pedaling at all.
