Alternate Solution 2

        Design #2 uses the same T shape frame as design #1, only with the intersection in the back and an added crossbeam in the middle.  The design is slightly, but not significantly heavier than design #1, and sheet metal strips will still be used to construct the frame.  This design also has power steering in the front, where a motor turns the front wheel by pushing or pulling on two rods connected to the steering column like structure.  The frame is 42 inches long by 30 inches wide.  The frame uses 90 mm urethane rollerblade wheels for increased speed.

            The design works almost the same as design #1, but more efficiently.  The two motors pull and release the strings attached to the boom, which moves the boom to both sides.  With the mast socket in front of the motors, the boom will have a wider range of turning and there is less of a chance that the strings will be tangled. Also, with power steering in the front, the design does not rely on just its sail position to turn.  The ball bearings are used to reduce friction when the wheels are turning.

            This design has a wider degree of turning, making it easier to make sharp turns.  With one wheel in the front and the back wheels rolling independently, it is makes the entire process of turning easier. The design is also sufficiently aerodynamic, making a V shape into the direction it is going rather than against it seen in design #1.  However, making such sharp turns with only one wheel in the front could topple the land sailor.  This flaw could be disastrous during the racing testing procedure and must be counteracted.  One possibility is to move the mast socket further to the rear of the design.
