Hi all, I am constructing my own land yacht but may use a blokart mast would someone be good enough to give me the dimensions of the standard Blokart mast tube. Lenght,OD and ID. Thanks

Thanks for your reply Gizmo. Just keeping my options open and it would help to know the Blokart sizes.

Where abouts in the UK are you? I can point you in the direction of several clubs that probably wouldn't mind you rocking up and taking a few measurements. Somewhere in the construction part of the forum are plans for an aluminium mast which might be do-able

I'm doing a LLF Mini myself and have picked up 3 windsurfing masts with a few sails for £30 which allowing for a bit of a mod to the bottom end will cost me about £20-25 each with all new materials inc. All aluminium will cost about £100. Blokart start at £170 for a mast for a 3.5m sail and up (x-sail could well be cheaper).

Cheers Col

Yes I can understand from where you are coming from but could you do us a favor have a read of this thread... www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Land-Yacht-Sailing/General/public-perception-can-of-worms/.

If you are going to build a yacht PLEASE build it to a class standard.
Because one day you will sail against another yacht.... or on sell it and the new buyer will want to, the class specs of the FISLY Mini5.6 are SO simple it would a disappointment for you not to.
