This site claims to have an explanation for sailing rocks.

Seems quite reasonable...

Seen the sailing rocks with my own eyes. Never seen them move, of course. But I have been to Racetrack Playa and there's no way it's a hoax, as the link August posted will attest. But, it is remarkable in person. Mind numbing....

To blacklight

the correct name for those waves are gravity waves. What you are thinking of are called gravitational waves. The two rearly get mixed up as they have little to do with each other, but at times one can get abit confused.
