Finally got time to post landsailer pics. 6061 aluminum tube frame, total weight 56 lbs, top speed 40 mph ivanpah this
spring (gps). The boat is 2 years old, no defects or problems. 4 sets of tires, 3 sets of bearings. Needs 1 new rim as the bearing froze and damaged the seat. In process of building another one with a little frame change.

I like the foldup design, but the front brake wins me over.

Yes, I cut all the parts to fit in a jig and then my welder bud glues them together. He has been welding aluminum for about 35
years. He travels alot in the summer months so not much gets done but the price is right and it's well worth the wait. The design
is from a sirocco sprint but I changed a few things for my comfort. I will send pics of it broke down so you can see how small it
gets. It will fit in a kite board bag when broke down. It"s a fun hobby and doesn"t brake the bank.

Here are the pics of the landsailer in bag and ready to go. Takes about 10 to 15 minutes to setup. Need new tites before next long
run as these are just about wore out.

Love the portability! What bearings are you using in your wheels?

Sealed high speed bearing. Don't remember # but size is 7/16 inch thick, 1 3/8 outside diameter, 5/8 axle size. Hope that
answers your question. I get the bearings from a local supplier. They run about $2 each if I buy a lot of 10 bearings. They fit
all of my azusa aluminum wheels.

A wonderful package....of fun. Really this is how landyachting needs to develop for the market,

and the enjoyment of a lifestyle. I can see young bucks and jennys hoping on public transport

with their windbag, setting off to really enjoy life, and i can see the boundary's being not pushed but demolished

A wonderful job with very real commercial possibility.....congratulations
