He hasn't been around for a while, my guess its something to do with the school holidays and taking a break with family. When he is around he always appears on the forums every day or so, Im sure he will contact you very quickly when he is back.

No way you could try out your mini with the sail you have? Probably wont perform 100% but it could be fun for a few days Im sure you could rig something up just to get it going.

Landyachts away at the moment what you could try in the meantime is down haul the front of the sail like they do with windsurf sails and pull down the boom independently to that, that should get you moving

I would try a vacuum cleaner tube extension on your mast to get the foot of the sail a bit higher and use the boom you have to get your landyacht up and running until your other sail arrives.

Paul has been camping out at lake lefroy over the long weekend, but we will be having tea with Paul and Susan this evening-I will give him a reminder for you.

I got about a 40cm tube of plastic and on one of the ends it has a larger section so you can connect other bits of pipe so i cut a section of that and it fits exactly over the end of the mast with a couple of hits with a hammer so it doesnt hit my leg anymore and i put 2 pulleys at the back , just waiting for some parts from the front wheel and some wind
