Hello land-yachters!

Been following this forum for a while, and finally decided to join, to share with you (and hopefully get some feedback on) my first attempt at a land-yacht build!

The design is essentially a rough approximation of a three-wheeler mini. Since it's not metal, I realize it can't be registered. Which gives me a little more artistic freedom with some of the other design decisions.

So far:
Dimensions (subject to sanding, trimming, and hardware)
Fore-and-aft: about 8 ft
Beam: about 44 in

Wheels: Some wheelbarrow wheels I picked up at the hardware store

Rigging: "borrowed" wholesale from a sunfish. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunfish_%28sailboat%29)

I have a number of photos of the build so far, to be posted below.

What a way to pass the cold months!


Cheers!
