OOOH DEADLY QUIET IN HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!

EVEN QUIETER OVER THERE!!!!!!! (and has been for a VERY long time)
blokart.com/

yepp it is sure quite on the alsa front does it still exist????

tried to look at alsa web site cant be found it looks like alsa could be dead

Lets hope so. An up and running web front for ALSA should improve things communication wise and it appears new people are getting involved. I hope that they see us keeping an interested eye on the project as a sign of good will. Keep fingers crossed

I still have the idea to try and get a remote landsailer club going oneday for all the lone sailors spread around, saw there wasn't much point though until ALSA was operating and effective again. Just an idea at this stage of course.

I do hope that when the web site is completed it is an Australian site and not just cut and paste from everywhere else.
I wouldn't like to see pictures of overseas yachts that are not even sailing in Australia ie: Sirocco, Manta jnr, or others
I hope that any class rules all are in metric only (as measurements in Australia went metric from 1971) It would show that at least we are up to date and not just puppets of the USA.

Just my thoughts though

Actually , lots of good usefull discussion has been happening in the last few weeks, just not here. There seems to be an awful lot of mysterious characters getting in the way of things

what do you actually mean

what I mean is ,that lots of useful discussion has been happenig ,just not here,as there seems to be lots of mysterious characters hanging around

you mention mysterious characters getting in the way of things, where is your evidence from what i have seen the on forum you should be looking in your own back yard...

Woohoo 1000 posts Landyacht!!

The lawn's looking mighty fine there!

maybe the hose wasn't used only on the sails or maybe the sails are only an excuse for the water landing elsewhere

Yeah, I think the sails went up over the lawn as an excuse......or good recycling.

Has it been a particuarly wet year over there? Seems you had many episodes of rain and water on the lake.

dry as buggery till late winter, then 3 rains of 40-50mm. each rain dryed up in time for the next one, but the rain sweetened the lawn and flushed out all the flourides, etc from the tap water. then a dose of pig poo and mushroom compost as a topdress and the colour changes overnight. The lawn gets mowed weekly, last time with a push mower no catcher, clippings straight back onto the lawn . dont bother with wetta soil as it will eventually water proof your lawn .
we even got stuck in and planted some veges and have our fingers crossed for some summer rain so I can learn to windsurf this summer

So getting back to the point, what has happened to ALSA?

I have no idea myself. Haven't heard 2 cents worth, would also be interested in any new news.

So getting back to the point, what has happened to ALSA?

testpilot i would not bother asking that question as i have tried i think it is secret land yacht business and it is going to stay that way...

Test pilot - we have been told discussions are happening, but who, why and what and where is unknown. Suggest you get in touch with DR, then perhaps let the rest of us know? Good luck

you seem to know something? who is dr?

DR is David Rose, The president of ALSA and also the Adelaide Land Yacht Club.
He might be able to be contacted via the Adelaide club website.
