This land yachting business is way too much fun and too addictive.

Started off with a blokart now my backyard looks like the set of 'Junkyard wars'

I love this hobby and the awesome people that design, build and pilot these amazing pieces of machinery.

I am so lucky to be part of these great land sailing community here in WA.

thanks again to all my mentors and mates.

Ben.

Know what you mean Ben. Only had one windsurfer at a time, with 2 sails. Now I've got 11 sails, 5 assorted Blokart masts, 3 karts, a class 5, and a yacht that floats on water.Yes, it is an addiction. I love sailing!

I too have been helped, met and mentored by some of natures gentlemen.
This sport is only held back by your imagination.

Addictive.............TOTALLY. I've got number 23 sketched out and the front end built.
Just lovin' these big cammed sails.

Thankyou everyone.

I think you are on to something with your cammed uncut windsurfing sails chook.

I like your style of power sailing.

Is there anything else more important than "Sailing Your Own Boat", be it on water, land or ice??????

The next yacht to have will be the "Space Sailer".

It has been said that there is only one success in life and that is in "Living Your Life in Your Own Way", or more simply said:-

"Sailing Your Own Boat"
