Hello, my name is Jim and I'm from the Las Vegas, Nevada area. I've seen some of this landsailing when I was younger but took up jumping out of airplanes instead. I do a lot of reloading, bullet swaging, and of course shooting. I have done a small amount of sailing on some hobie cats, so not a lot of saiing experience. I had a renewed interest in landsailing watching some a few weeks ago on one of the dry lake beds south of Vegas. I have been reading everything in the Construction and Sail Making threads for about the last week or so. My plan is to build a class5 type yacht as my first to learn to sail on. When I start getting my materials I will post my builds progress. I thank you all beforehand for all your threads and posts because you have all covered everything I can imagine for now. I will save up for some real questions later though. Jim

Thanks for the welcome, the sites, and nothing is set in stone yet. I just liked the looks of the class 5 builds. They are within reach in my garage and a lot of the fun is rolling your own.

Jim,

You might want to go check this out personally. It's approx 100 miles from Vegas.

Just looking for materials at the moment, of the free kind

spoken like any true leadcaster / swager and reloader

welcome to another addiction, but just like loading your own ammo - it wont save you money,
it just gives you more reasons to spend more to "supposedly" save money.
