Hi , I am looking for solutions for mudguards on the rear of my land yacht/buggy. the beach i use tends to stay fairly wet even at low tide so there is a fair bit of spray flying around. my initial idea was to use trailer mudguards or some kind of mud flap like on trucks. any ideas let me know. the mudguard/flap is not that difficult,its how to mount them that may be the problem.

Some interesting work by Ate Eilander, working with Basalt Fiber to create new axles and parts. There's a bit lost in translation between us, however he's shared some other pictures in his gallery listed below of trials/errors as he's refined the wall thickness etc working with some as light as 1mm. He's testing Basalt Fiber in place of Carbon around seeing how much bounce one absorbs vs the other and returning the energy after absorption. You can see more of Ate's work here using both Basalt and Carbon: https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipMoW7og07eBnvHc7HjwXgZYBIDLf7v-Yx2-czldR0EULsG6fG1jKt-MIZngemXvQA?key=NFJLYlR2cGpxM3hydkkwdjFZR…

Nigel's buggy was stolen from Elwood by a female thief. Due to a lengthy disguise of glasses and hat, we've been unable to identify her for some time. We are reopening the cold case and continuing our investigation.

On 28th January we went to the Rangsdorfer lake just south of Berlin. We ha a couple of weeks temperatures below 0 degree Celsius. The ice was not perfect flat and black but still good enough for us ?. Around 13cm thick ice. The wind was very low at 3-5 knots. Alfred used a 11m Vapor and 14m Yakuza, I used my 12m Diablo and 8m Diablo. Icebuggy is so nice ... love it ! Are there any frozen lakes in AU or NZ? Warm regards from Germany Daniel

So as I progress learning to hydrofoil I find quite a few similarities between hydrofoiling and buggying. Both curiously efficient in light wind. Foiling more efficient believe it on not!.... I use smaller kites on the foil than I do on the buggy. Crazy upwind angles. Don't which is better. its hard to tell. Very similar. Speed is light winds is very similar. I think the foil has it sub 12 knots, the bugger is faster as the wind builds. Kite flying techniques for foiling swell downwind is almost a copycat of buggying downwind in dunes. Much like the buggy because of the crazy upwind and downwind angles you can achieve foiling allows for more adve…
