Gday crew, tonight I have been reading through your forum and have been thinking
"I gotta have one" on my list of toys. I see that some of you are manufacturing ur own landsailors and as a fitter machinist myself I find my self saying "why did'nt I think of that".

Sure , I could make one easy as pie. But I want one now. Are there any for sale anywhere ? Are new ones available to be purchased?
Really Im just after any advice that could help me get started.
Cheers in advance, and please excuse my "kookness"

If your wanting one off the shelf ... the blokart is the answer, and im sure one of the blokart guys will help you out soon. The blokart is a great production yacht that is ideal for one design racing, it has a good following world wide and would have a ready resale market if you ever wanted to move on (and build your own ).
Many of us on the forum prefer to build our own for many reasons like mental satisfaction and development of design ideas etc. as its far from an exact science yet

Great to see you paying us a visit KEARNSY. From playing X-Sail the game to "Gotta have one!!!" in 24 hours. That is the quickest and easiest convert I have seen.

Like I said over in the other paddock, bazl is your man in your neck of the woods.

I am sure he would be more than happy to organise a ride in the real thing for you.

Go and spend a day with the Sandgropers and you will probably wonder what you have been doing all your life. Cheers Cisco

just 2 easy weekends and a couple of nights in the shed and your the proud owner of Lake Lefroy Mini.
you get a sense of pride that you will never get from polishing a blowie.
