well that's an interesting question, i think i read somewhere that there were a lot of old land yachts left laying around in kalgoolie when the club there closed along time ago before the renewd interest in "dirt sailing" so what happened to then ? are they just slowly rusting away somewhere ? and what about others like the imac or any others that have been made and faded away, where are they ? and could they be found and brought back to life again ?? maybe there should be some sort of "u want it we'll try to find it" after all i would have thought that some of these "old" dirt boats would be a bit of fun to restore and sail,, or am i the only one that thinks this way

Over time many tubing yachts either rust or corrode .. i wouldn't trust the tube on an old yacht. Some of the old seats or sails might be of use though.
The faze5 yachts were designed with clamps around the tube to eliminate this problem, but evolution of design changed and the "Pacific Magic" took over.

well seems like another can of worms opened, have you ever looked at the old cars and stuff, before they were all nice and shining some of them to look at them you'd think that nothing could be done, i was at the recent wooded boat festival here is s.a. not long ago and there were many boats there that would have rotted away if it wasn't for someone comming along and bringing them back from the grave..who knows maybe i'm just a bit different...but what the hell dare to be different i say[}:)]

Bugger!! Sorry to hear that!!

A guy at my work died of Leukemia within in 2 weeks of being diagnosed as he couldn't get over the pneumonia. He was only in his 30s and his wife was pregnant with their second child at the time.


That just sucks!!
