Hi all,
New to this forum so just introducing myself.
Just finished reading a lot of your posts on "land yachting" (very entertaining).
I'm hooked. Going to start construction of a LL mini(as per plans) this week.
Have always been keen on a "blokart" but could never justify the outlay.
From all reports and pics the mini will work equally well. I will keep you posted.

Looks excellent Vic. Was it just a luff recut and add mast pocket or were there further modifications?

No changes required it is a 20yo land yacht sail (lefroy vintage) It was used on the viking land yachts that Paul designed in the early ninties I think
Cheers

Welcome Steve
If your going to build a LL mini(as per plans) the main suggestion I'd make is to rethink the sequence of welds and by going a round steering head you avoid the need to reshape the polyurethane.
