Hi there sailing people ,
I have a favour to ask ! You don't know me, but I thought you might be intersted in what I am doing and potentially
I am currently building landsailers with a group of at risk kids in west heidelburg
We have just about all we need but still need a couple of windsurfer sails and masts
The sails are the main bit though, the kids are a great bunch and after building school outdoor furniture with me I thought they could do with something fun
If you can help o know anyone wo might be able to help it would be most appreciated
The age of the gear is no big deal these are not super high performance crafts. We are just looking for that gear that has been in the back of the shed untouched for the last 5 years
If you can help in any way please email me at this address
Or call me on 0403599890
You can check out our program at www.handsonlearning.info
Thanks for your time

when I was a kid I drilled a hole in a skateboard deck and put the universal joint from a small sailboard sal through it and had alot of fun.

if you build the right size/weight landyacht for the person who will use it you should be fine. my daughtrs all started sailingaround age 3, one sailed at 2 1/2. fastest daughterat this time is Mirandaat 63kmph. best crash is catherine who sailedfor 100m on her front wheel only at 50kmph before ditching.
cheers paul
