Jes and I spent the weekend at Yeppoon with the blowcarters.
There wasn't much wind but we had a good time.
During the high tide on Saturday afternoon Jes and I explored the northern end of the beach where we came accross an old land yacht in the scrub.
The pod was full of sand with grass and weeds growing in it.
Following the walking track down to the beach we found a hire trailer & tractor,
we asked the girl about the old yacht in the scrub
..."We bought blowcarts about 2 years ago and don't use them any more.
Take it if you like, I'll try and find the sail."...

We pumped up the tyres, sprayed WD40 into the bearings and had it on the beach that afternoon.

But what is it?

Thanks to Iand for this idea!!

The purpose of this thread is to collect a register of all landyachts & Blokarts so that people interested in the sport can see what types are available, obtain some information regarding them and see who in their vicinity owns them. Hopefully this will enable them to make an informed decision regarding what type of landyacht they should purchase or build and who they can sail with locally.

Please include a picture of your landyacht and fill out the details in this template:

Class -
Length -
Width -
Mast Ht -
Approx sail area -
Location -
Sail Number -
Built by/purchased from -
Comments - (success, failure, problems, transport-needs trailer, where to get parts etc etc)

If you would like to ask any questions or post any comments please do so in this link: "Questions/comments for Landyacht Register"
www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=39430 so that this thread only contains landyacht details.

Here is a sightly different approach to a class 5 yacht using a "T" Axle.
(I had to do something on a cold rainy day)
This is a Concept drawing ONLY.. use or reject the ideas as you wish.
This is a color version of the design, there is also a higher resolution black / white version in the photo section
