hi all, i have a couple of class 5 land yacht, but am also interested in blokarts,, are there many here in south australia, where would i go to see them in the "flesh" so to speak,,,the ADELAIDE LAND YACHT CLUB sail out at Pt Gawler beach but i haven't seen any blokarts out there......
Is there dealers here in SA that sells them either new or used...how much would i expect to pay for 1....is there anyone who has 1 here in SAthat i might be able to perhaps look at and maybe have a sail i 1 before i go and get 1..........Is there a blokart club here in SA.....I believe that there was a guy at warooka on the yorke peninsular that had a few that he hired out but doesn't do it anymore,, insurance i think,,, does anyone know of him and how i can contact him as we have a holiday house at marion bay on 50 k's away and go there often and would like to talk to him if possible


cheers

Hi BB,
My name is Bryn(wheel1) and am the current light-weight Aus Open tittle holder from central Qld.
I,ve arrived in adelaide recently and live at largs bay.
Have contacted dealer and another and have arranged to meet at tapparoo beach every second sunday when tide is low in middle of day.
The blokart-aus website also has forum for posts.
Sun 23 is next day.

come and try.
Bryn

Taparoo is the northern part of the beach between largs jetty and north haven. also try the beach at north haven, up near the southern breakwater to outer harbour (mostly nw - sw winds)i'm away on yacht delivery on sun but sat looks good.

Hi Bryn,
What are these "thermals" you speak of ? We'll be practicing for the CQBC regatta tomorrow at Cape Hillsborough wearing shorts and a T shirt, (and shoes, sunnies and helmets of course). You should use up some of those frequent flier points and come back and visit. I'm sure we can supply a production kart for you to run in and see if you can defend your title. The club is growing all the time with new interest growing regularly.
Our club site is going well, check it out at cqbc.forumotion.net/
and keep in touch.
Remember entry date closes soon, so get in now to secure a place.
Darren.
CQBC

Hi Bryn: From sunny-warm, Mackay, Central Queensland Blokart Blokart Regatta 2009, has now passed 40 nominations. Sure you don't want to ditch the thermals and join us?? 20 in production, and we know there are more to register, The Melbourne crew are comming(5) Let the moths out of the wallet and give it a go. Regards The Old Fart In A Blokart, Dave M

Did someone mention sailing at Taparoo on Sunday 23rd Aug.....? tomorrow

Well done to all at cqbc.(great job guys)
i'm back from a 3 week delivery from syd-adelaide.(bass strait is not the place to be mid winter)(although i have warmer clothes for the ocean than the land)

Welcome to the forum mate! Congrats on the new blokart, post some pics if you get a chance.

Hey Guys, not sure about the wind for taperoo tomorrow (northerly) but if there's anyone keen I could come down aroun 4 pm (maybe a sea breeze?).
What do you think?

Hey Natosa
You got that club up and running yet,you guys were missed heaps at the weekend,spoke to Rod regarding Horsham for the Aus Day Cup was saying that its under water at the mo so hoping for some hot windy northerlys to dry it out.Speak to you soon.
