2003-2004 built landyacht, our first ever.

Discussed in these Forum posts:

Introducing the modern fossil yacht.

Why do I describe it as a modern fossil? Because at the time it was built it was already 30 years out of date

I dont actually have a name for it.

It was our first yacht. Back when all i knew about them was they had 3 wheels and a few design tips I picked up from a website. Anyway, here are some pics. Any and all questions are welcome.

Gday all. This is my first ever landyacht build. Actually I can blame my father as well for it too, I think it was built around 2003-2004. All steel construction, adjustable pedal and mast step position, luxury seat and a large amount of excess mass. Sail and rigging were taken from a paper tiger catamaran. Datsun hubs, axles and wheels at the rear, wheelbarrow wheel and iceflyer spec steering setup. It does move forward given enough wind and provided a lot of fun for the family. Its still going strong as ever and should be for a long time to come.
