one of the yachts that stood out for me last weekend was a LLM built by Pete Gleaves. Pete didnt have access to a sewing machine and simply rigged a windsurfer mast and boom set up to his mini. he machined a nylon plug for the base of the mast and had a thin sheet of teflon wrapped around the mast in the mast step. the dowhaul system tie down to the mini chassis The yacht suffered in the lighter winds due to the small sail size, but once the wind got up it perfomed rather well. i paced pete in my own mini and was suprised how well it did.
