Now the big tip......Lake Lefroy september 29-30 2012
Be seen there or be square................
Be seen......and....bring your machine......
Hi folks,
I have heard reports from others that the beach at St Peter Ording can be a bit on the rough side at times, although I have not been there.
when we looked at the prices of t shirts we got scared , then i had the silly idea of making our own , and when i asked my quilting wifey if it could be done , she said it would be toohard, too fiddly....................
gotta tell ya , her machine is a doddle after tackling a few sails
so now get some printed for $30 to cover costs.
I want one 5xx $40 with postagee
call it the "supporters" or aussie idiots
Paul,
Did you do any research into "T" Printing??? Take a Deco at these people..

i did do quite a bit ron, and the minimum order value of $1000 that they ask is out of our range this time.
although the freight for the crate is cheap all the other costs associated with it are adding up. we are able to create some really cracking clothing on our sewing machine, so why not keep with the trend weve set
heres the base logo for the track suits just the sail ID to add
this is a finished sewn piece for my cape
Great to see the spirit of landsailing I love best.
I'm sure that the standarts repaired & their pilots will have worn their scars proudly!
we can only hope that this would be acheiavable in the Great South Land
its a credit to see....gongratulations all......
landyacht....did you want some printing done on material, i could possibly get you
some help over here , at realy good mates rates.....
bugger me , vista print were advertising on seabreeze!!!!
just goes to show how I block out the adverts
they ended costing $ 13 each, look great too.
i fin ally had time to sort the photos from 2 weekends ago.
its not often you get to go back to the very spot where the landyacht that was probably the first in Australia, and one of the oldest photos in the world was taken
heres the 1898 versions
the mine is still accessible, but the area needs permission form the mining company to access. thank youJohn the Kiter and Goldfields St Ives for the assistance and permits.
heres the same places today.
the hill crest has collapsed by as much as 2m due to the orebody being a flat plane under the face of the hill, but the mine entrance is intact. about 3m in the pickmarks from 1898 are clearly visible.
the second image still shows the distinctive skyline . the area in front of the tents and building of the settlement was refered to as " Tiger Bay".
perhaps a welshman from Cardiff could explain the connection
the townsite was later moved inland into the valley that became Kambalda east
Not to sound ungrateful Paul but when are we gonna see some footage of the New one. The history lesson is great none the less.

Pics look great, yachts look the "business"
Almost finished 20" front wheel. Used same mold as 26" & just measured from rim outer edge to hub joiner tube edge to centre it.
Will let you know how it goes............
If it works, means you can make different wheel sizes with same mold.
The yachts sure look smart. I went into that addit(mine opening) about 40years ago. You could go a fair way in then and climb over some old timber work at the back of the addit. I have a couple off old pics that may be of interest that where taken in the area.
"GO YOU YELLA DOGS GOOOOoooooooo!!" Great stuff Landyacht and Team,
You are the winners in my book, congratulations to all involved
Arghhhh vic where did you get those pics????
that view of the townsite is way too flat for where the town is supposed to have been the views of the butterfly are from the otherside of the ridge. it must have been a dirty smelly place
well bob the dog had a great weekend, off he went with his crate to the wharf at fremantle , managed a sunset at southern cross and woke to watch hot air balloons launching in northam then off to a nice comfy container stack for a day or two , before sailing on Monday
Paul
All the pics are from the WMC archive folder. I think the area is looking south east from Kambalda East in the area that the old horse trough is or was.
Don't forget Bob the dog will need a pet passport, microchip and a rabies shot before he can travel in Europe
Cheers Col
Col.. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.. Landyacht will need a bunch of shots if they allow him back into this country.
That dog looks like it is having a bunch of fun Paul.
Ron
turns out Bob was better organized than we realized , rather than a random opportunity to jump a crate, it turns out Bob was well equipped with landyacht pilots licence (forged), pyschic paper ID ( real) and a pile of centimes. .
are they any good now?.
his full name is Roberto Terrier Santaigo de Chile, as he adopted little stig in the airport in Santiago de Chile.
this will be his second world championships, i think he may have the Bug
Landyacht I have just renamed you!!! Hence forth you will be known as Globeite.. You are definitely a real Case!!
Ron
Unfortunately Bobs Francs/Centimes are no longer legal tender, so he'll have to get some Euros - which at least if he comes back with some he can use in any country in Europe...apart from the UK cos' we're 'special'
I will be getting some advice from Bob as I notice he's had 4 years sailing experience which in dog years is 28 so he's been round the block a few times!
Anything else he needs to know about 'those crazy French' he can PM me
Cheers Col
better get "BOB" to mediate with the anamials in landyachting general....woof woof
[}:)].....sic em Bob111
Im finding out all the secret plans that have been going on behind my back.
apparently the rabies shot and the "chip" were organized weeks ago
