also looking for some LLM seat ideas???? any body undermount the main tube??

Welcome to the forum! Funny how the best info on landsailing is on an AU forum, huh? I'm just glad it's here!

If you come to SoCal in the future................

thanx for the info and the welcomes.... all i have to do is welld my seat brackets and brake arm and Im ready for paint............hopefully this weekend.

Looking good! You're way ahead of me at this stage. I'm still collecting stuff! How long have you spent so far on the build?

Hey nice work there harleyd !!!

"When sailing land yachts, if all body parts are kept within the confines of the yacht it is almost impossible to hurt yourself no matter how hard you sail the yacht".

That is music to my old ears He he. Us old buggars don't bounce very well!!!

I have made up some velcro leg straps that will hang loose above the ankles, but stop the legs straying outside the body in an upset.

Hey all Thanx for the positive input.....So far I started about a month ago... have 61 us dollars invested.. total time building maybe 15 hours... total time staring at my creation...timeless... if i built when i just stare it would of been done 2 months ago... and yes.. will have a seatbelt .. sail will be modified windsurf.. to start..
also after I get a little time on it , I will upgrade the wheels to those ones mentioned before... I cant find falshaws here? any body know us supplier?
I did see some simillar wheels on a pedal car at the tracter supply store.. so we will see... ok back to work.... more photos to come..

its called the crumble zone....actually its a mistake.. but hey its 2 grams lighter.. we will see if it is a structural prob... if it is then i guess i will find out.. I could always plug it and weld it shut I guess... But one thing I learned over the years is to intentionally have one mistake because only the gods were perfect and they would look down on you... I think the Egyptians did the same...
ok back to work...

got a good run on the seat tonight.... looking good maybe get some pics soon.. Oh and picked a gastra 4.9 speed sail today.. will get mastfriday

I would be putting some full length sides on that seat , because your are going to come out of it at some stage. at least a 4" rail on the sides. the drill hole WILL bend.
welcome aboard the fun express

I will have 4 inch side rail, ACTUALLY ALREADY DO...they also lean out 15 degrees. have most of the base seat done just need to start doing the back rest..does anyone use a head pad or rest? I will get pictures in the am...
Someone asked where i get my supplies? my frame is from a wire fence that I used to drag around my ranch it had the 2 3/8 gal tube... much better use .... otherwise steel from local welding shop.. wood from my cabinet shop, other misc from hardware store.
I think I have $ 89.00 so far... will probably invest in better wheels after my test runs...
ok now where to sail when i get it done... hmmm havent thought of that !!! first things first... but am thinking of Dillon beach, goat rock, nevada somewhere , and some local alfalfa fields.. and a soccer field close by... ill keep u posted..

Hey Ron, leave the poor septic alone. The reason we did not tell you about sides was to strengthen those butt cheeks of yours. Head rests are good for long hauls otherwise you 'toughen up buttercup' and strengthen those neck muscles. [}:)]

Harley,
I would like to see pic's as terms vary from Country to Country let alone interstate.
Listening to some of those guys from Down South USA, I would have thought they speak some sort of Alain Pigeon English. Damn they are hard to get a Handle on.
As for side Rails, well the Cat was first off the line and I guess I was just too excited to get it out and going not thinking I would get Hooked so quickly. Now understanding the forces involved I will fit some before much longer.

Why do I need to toughen up my Butt Cheeks TP??? I have had myself in positions where by I have all but bitten chunks out of my Car Seat. Who needs a Seat Belt
Ron

Harley,
Just ignore him. He is no Gentleman, just Desert Dweller from the West Country

Mt Gay!! Forsooth! God Almighty! Mt Gay! Now don't that Tell It All??
Out of the Mouths of Babes and Sucklings!

Qld, Now, Harley, Old Buddy, Mate. If you take notice to Cisco then you had best ort to be sure to Carry some Scuba Gear with you and decrease your sail area massively as they Sail under water (Shoot now there is a thought) It seems that Q'ld(Queensland)(Once again Queens is the operative bit) Boy Cisco did you ever ask for this? The Bit about Friendly didn't help much either.
I will Also Tell you that the Two Headed Bit isn't true and I have the Scar to prove it. I am Ambidextrous for I have Ten Fingers and two normal Thumbs, unlike some Qlders I can think of that have extended Thumbs to get around with them Firmly Em-planted-------Ah! --------You know where.

I if you would like Harley I can inform you a Little More about us Aussies, For instance SA (South Australian) That is where The Crows/Ravens Fly Backwards to keep the Sand out of there Eyes but no one has said that after a short time they become Tail heavy and tend to Crash Butt first[}:)]
I had best stop this now before we finish with a National Civil War and you guys definitely know what they are all about.
Ron

the Jeep and the teardrop trailer will be the chase vehicle...!! when I get tired , I will open up a frosty and climb in and take a snoooooze... built the trailer bout 2 years ago... was on the bucket list along with the land sailor.... Cheers !!!!!
