The blokart was invented and developed in New Zealand, country cradle of many of the most exciting sports of adventure in the world.
In periodic form competitions and voyages or expeditions are realized in the whole world. Also companies exist dedicated to realizing tourist routes or rentals of these sailboats and several clubs that have developed his own tracks.
From the year 2009, Chile was contagious of this adrenaline and we see that the contagion already expands to Latin America.
The Majorcans Santi Oliver and David Santana they were proclaimed the campeónes of Blokart's World in Oostende's Belgian place this on October 18, 2010. Also the Majorcan Javier Estarellas was raised to the podium as secret third.
In total, the contest assembled 137 participants of a total of 18 countries. There completed the summons of the Spanish equipment Peter Bresnan, Manuel Cavaller, Bartolomé Riera and Mateo Vilariño (of Balears), Jose Enrique Denia (Valencia), Jose Manuel Palomo and Eduardo Cano (Castile and León), the latter with the merit of suffering a fundamental chronic injury that has not prevented him from taking part in this appointment.
Records
The world land speed record for a wind powered vehicle was broken on 26 March 2009 by Richard Jenkins in his yacht Greenbird with a speed of 126.1 mph (202.9 km/h).Wind speeds were fluctuating between 30–50 mph (48–80 km/h) at that time.
The previous record of 116 mph (187 km/h) was set by American Bob Schumacher on March 20, 1999 driving his Iron Duck vehicle. Both records were set on Ivanpah Dry Lake near Primm, Nevada, USA.

The last 2008 was held the inaugural World Championship this kind monotype, becoming the terrestrial equivalent of nautical Optimist or Laser classes, making it the ideal candidate to become the first class Olympic sailing on land that was held in Papamoa New Zealand.
European and world championships
One of the largest international events in the sport are the European championships, in which competitors of all classes from all over Europe travel to a sand yachting venue for a week long competition.

North America
In the US, annual competitions are held by local clubs and by NALSA, the North American Landsailing Association. The largest regatta is regularly held the last week of March on the playa at the California-Nevada border near Prim Nevada. The classes sailed in the US include several one-design classes, international class 5 (5 m² class in the US), and open classes solely based on the sail/wing area. The European yachts sail with the appropriate US open class according to their sail area.
Promoting international competition, there are periodic regattas including FISLY and other landsailing nations, mostly on the Pacific Rim. The host and venue of this regatta rotates, and the 2009 event will be hosted by NALSA at the March regatta.
Since then, the Blokart is to become a sports desired by many doing that today bloke championships are held almost throughout the world including in Spain where an already Championships held in Palma de Mallorca, Zaragoza and Valencia

• with respect to such determinations, not to resort to any court or tribunal not provided for in this legislation
3 Each competitor is responsible for its own decision to participate or continue participating in any event.
4 When two blokarts rolling in the opposite direction as they head into the wind (opposite tacks), the Blokart with the wind from the left will give way to Blokart from the right. A Blokart is on port tack (port tack) when the wind comes from the left ("left") or port ("port"). Similarly, Blokart is a starboard tack (starboard tack ") when the wind comes from the right ("right ") or starboard (starboard).
5 A Blokart turning starboard tack to port to pass a mark not give up its rights under E-12.
6 When blokarts are committed to the same board (due to the wind), the windward Blokart ("windward" side from which came the wind) shall keep clear of leeward Blokart ("leeward" side protected wind). Two blokarts are considered committed when they are on the same tack and any part of the front wheel of one of them is up to or beyond the rear wheel of another.
7 When blokarts are on the same board and do not overlap clearly behind the Blokart maintain a safe distance from the front (bow).
8 A Blokart keep its distance from the forward blokarts those upwind (into the wind) until the completion of the maneuver and can be incorporated into her proper course. If two veer Blokart Blokart at the same time the left will make room for the Blokart on the right.
9 A Blokart should avoid contact with another Blokart if it is reasonably possible. However:
• A right of way Blokart not need to avoid contact until it is clear that the other Blokart not going to give way.
• A right of way will not be penalized with this article unless there is contact that causes damage or injury.
Blokart takes E.10 When a right of way must first make room for others to keep clear of him. Unless that right of way is obtained from the other's actions.

12 When two committed blokarts come to the area of preference, with a radius of 20 meters (or the distance as determined by the race organizer) of a mark or obstruction, which has an inner position of undertaking must scream "! STEP "(" ROOM! ") and pass the mark or obstruction of the sportswear way possible, without using more space than necessary to do so safely. Any Blokart committed on the outside, it must allow room for that to happen. After passing the mark or obstruction this rule ceases to apply, however, the Blokart right of way must allow enough space to another Blokart to keep clear. When this rule is in effect, the standard port-starboard (left-right) is no longer applied to both blokarts are outside the preferred area.
13 When a faster Blokart gives scope to a slower in a preferred area or within 20 meters around an obstacle, you need to overtake on the outside only ifby doing so the Blokart faster down a path of commitment The next area of preference or hindrance rule applies E.12 (20-meter zone may be modified by race rules to suit specific local conditions).
14 The rules for the start procedure will be defined by the race committee on the instructions given to the competitors before the race.
15 No pilot will leave his Blokart during a race unless otherwise instructed by an officer or to render assistance to other pilot they need.
