  1. I'm booked in arriving on the 9th April and leaving on May the 13th.
  2. If someone is helping you to land a foil race kite just get them to wrap their arms around the kite UP from the tip and lay it downwind on the sand. The reason for this is the span wise strengtheners sewn into the top skin doesn't go all the way to the tip cells to save weight, so the delicate end cells could easily be ripped off.
  3. Lake Lefroy Mini Plans..... | Land Yacht Sailing Forums, page 1 (seabreeze.com.au)
  4. I only hope you can view these photos to see the plans of the Lake Lefroy mini yacht that Paul Day designed. I originally followed these plans and they sail really well. I have since built 29 more International 5.6 mini yachts to compete with. landyacht's Photo Gallery, page 13 | Seabreeze The steel framed yacht I repaired for a mate.
  5. Had heaps of laughs in Yeppoon with awesome company. Landed back home lunchtime today after a month of kiting. The old buggy is showing it's age now, even though it has had only one careful owner. This is what's left of my front tyre and where it's carried me so far. All done along Farnborough Beach in Yeppoon. Queensland. Cant wait till next year!!
  6. Nice speeds there Juan. 🤩
  7. Yeh Bob. I fly in on the 30th March and depart on the 27th April. Rob Lukin's organized and Pete from New Zealand is coming as well.
  8. Nice video once again Juan. Did the bungy cord rear suspension work alright??
  9. Fantastic to see whats happening over the other side of the world!!!! Boy that beach makes me envious with all that open sand. WOW!!!! Thanks for posting and keep it up. Stay safe.
  10. Mulching soldier crabs in Yeppoon?
  11. I have an Access harness. How big are you as it's made to go over snow gear so quite a large fit. Very little use as my son only used it twice. It's like the one on the snow thats not my harness.
  12. Very best wishes Trevor. We really enjoyed your company and stories. We are really going to miss your tallents on the beach mate. You keep smiling.
