Where Can I See Landyachts Up Close

Hi,

I just joined this site and am interested in building (or buying a surplus frame) for a Lake Lefroy Mini. I don't mind if it needs work

I have downloaded the plans and would like to have a look at a completed frame to clarify a couple of questions.

I am in my 70s and live in Whangamata, New Zealand and I am a member of MenzShed and a group involved in mentoring "difficult" boys at the local area school. We want to undertake a bigger project with the boys and building a Land Yacht might be worth trying as we have a great beach.

It seems Hiko and Clemco are the closest to me (1.5 hours away) but I cant find any formal club after discussing with Mrs Google.

Hiko (or anyone local) if you are planning a sail around Tauranga and I can come and have a look and maybe ask some questions that would be most appreciated..probably save me asking a whole host of questions on the forum. If there is a club in the area I'd make contact with them. Ohope is a bit far for me but the Tauranga trip is OK timewise.

Looking forward to this new challenge

Oh.....as well as involving the boys I want to build my OWN Land Yacht. I did have a 28' Yacht many years ago but sold it when "Er Indoors" confessed to hating sailing and convinced by that a 32' launch was better- even at 4 times the price!
