Hi Guys,

Love the Forum and the threads make great reading.
I am looking to build up a landyacht but don't want to do the BloKart thing, as such. Impressive as they are my brief to myself is that I want to design and fabricate, not 'Buy'. As an A Class Catamaran sailor I hanker for high wind land stuff when the Club wont go out due to high winds. Some expensive 'spares' from wrecked Nationals litter my yard and beckon to be used creatively. I have lots of experience building up recumbant racing trikes and can bring some knowledge across too. I am not looking to make a first-run jalopy here either. Finshed, it needs to look the part and evoke a 'wow' moment from the uninitiated, and a 'Cool' from those who sail wet-boats.
Big question to start with, are wing mast sections allowed? I realise they are stiff and might put me on my ear in a big way, but the sail can be made to lay off when set up correctly.
Budget is important of course, along with the challenge of 'doing it yourself'.

Any suggestions most welcome.
