Headed out to Lefroy on Saturday for a spot of sailing, was setting up and found I was one axle missing. Bugger!! 200 kms round trip to get it.Not going to happen. Had the 50mm stub axles with me, so I set up with 1 axle and 1 stub. Sailing with that setup works fine, sheet out when the short side is downwind.Did a long run up the lake, changed the axles around for the return trip. My elbow copped it on the wheel a few times, being right next to me.

Thats fantastic Bryan,bet you run through your check list next you set off,you must have had some pretty consistant breeze to not drop the windward side of the kart in the dirt.

A Good Tip for all readers. If you don't already have a series of or a Compartmented bag/s then make some When you pick up one part you will pick up all if they are stacked onto your Land Yacht. I only ever did it once when I was Hang Gliding and had to sit the day out watching everyone else enjoy them selves.. Never Again..

We put our axels inside an old thick work sock and they sit in the kart bag. My husband has driven all the way to the beach once and forgotten the wheels though! He did have his axels so luckily a friend has a spare kart and could use their wheels
