Here is the web site. www.x-sail.com/ Rumour has it that the owner of X-Sail is or was a disgruntled former blokart dealer (of which there are plenty around) who decided to go out on his own.

X-Sail and blokart are near identical in specs. If you wanted to have one in Aus you would be buying a Chinese manufactured (like blokart) item, from a Scotland based retailer, that would have be shipped to Australia, either via Scotland or direct from China.

Blokarts are only assembled in NZ. So I guess you will have to figure it out for yourself where your money is best spent.

There are a few blokarts offered for sale on this web site and I have offered you a good deal on a really good blokart.

If you are expecting to buy a GOOD blokart or an X-Sail for around $1,000, I have to advise you not to hold your breath until you find one for that price.

If $1,000 is your budget and you want a landyacht that is as good as or a whole lot better than a blokart or X-Sail, you should PM landyacht to see what he has in excess to his requirements.

I think he is building about 6 yachts per year.

Alternatively I would sell "Nappy Rush" to you for what I paid landyacht for it which is $200 plus freight. There was and is not a sail or mast included in that price. Do some hunting around on the site and have a look at my uploaded photos to get more info on this yacht.

You are the one doing the research for your pending purchase and I cannot be bothered finding the posts and posting the links.

Time for you to fish or cut bait sunshine. Ain't life a bitch?

Yeah it is not a bad game. The mechanics of it are quite realistic.

i do not like being told what iwhat to do or not do,, being a fisherman i know that without bait your can't fish, and as for not being bothered to finding links, i didn't ask anyone to, i am capable of doing somethings myself,, so considering your attitude i was about to do a deal with you on the blokart but i'll pass, i'd rather ride a in a wheel barrow....oh yeh and "life aint a bitch" just some pricks who live in it

I doubt you would have bought my blokart but it does not matter anyway.That market seems to be oversupplied. If you hunt around I am sure you would be able to find one second hand that has never been taken out of the box.

Just trying to bring you and a land yacht closer together but you are no doubt entirely capable of doing that yourself. Happy Hunting.

I have found a friend who owns his own industrial sewing machine that he uses for upholstery, awnings and boat dodgers and covers. It doesn't do zig zag but it does do double row stitching.

His mother in law works on a farm where there are 1 tonne fertiliser bags passing through. So Diablo and Nappy Rush could have a sail each soon.

Two LLF Minis on Farnborough Beach will be great. Still gotta do the ally mast yet.

make sure the bags are are well cleaned, and be sure to hot knife all the cuts, and have fun

^^ Thanks for that. Will do.

Gotta find a hot knife now. ALDI had them for $15 about a year ago. Wish I had got up early on that Thursday and got one.
