I created a thread while David Rose and I were building this, but I thought I'd just put all the photos in one post from beginning to end...
Thanks for the advise. Where do I find "Test"? Do not see any posts from him on land sailing. Will I find him at another forum? Thanks again!
He's (David Rose) on here but as the president of ALSA and ALYC he doesn't post other than in the pictures. Email him at budrose@picknowl.com.au. If you're in SA I would recommend getting the plans from him as he was a great help when I was building mine. He can supply most of the tubes and also makes the fibreglass seats.
If you want to see them in action and meet him head along to Pt Gawler. The sailing timetable is in this post: www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=33489
He owns a 2 seater and if you let him know you're coming he'll probably bring it out and give you a quick training session on it.
Bare with me for a couple of days I am busy scanning the original hand drawn A4 plans that Paul did in 1993. Once they are all scanned I will load them up and they can be freely used by all.
Promo Girl
Gentlemen please excuse promogirls grammar. For the rest of you that should read "BEAR with me". the other bare is for me only. and no I havent seen the outfit yet!
Ummmm.... I don't think there's anything I can say right now that won't get me in trouble with at least one of you two! 
busy weekend for all but we knocked off early to scan the original PM plans. they should be available to down load early next week. it will be interesting for someone who has a later copy to do a comparison. At least people will have no trouble finding landyacht plans ever again
Just a quick question.. does the "Y" axle work better than a "T" axle....why?
does it give better suspension? and is it tricky to align the angles of the Y then the wheel stubs?
I can't really compare the two, but it is a bit tricky to align the axles on a "Y". To change the alignment you have to change the tilt of the wheel. I have a 10 degree slant, but that is because that is where the wheels are aligned. Initially I didn't have them tight enough and dropped off 2 wheels heavily and threw the wheel out of alignment. You can actually see this on the last photo above. The wheel is over far too much and visibly out of alignment. They're nice an tight now and it hasn't happened again.
The suspension is pretty good though, you can really feel it flexing, but I've never been in a "T" to compare it.
Now Hills and Landyacht have finished taking the mickey....
The original class 5 Pacific Magic plans are now uploaded to the sea breeze site under the articles section and are able to be downloaded and printed off for personal use.
Enjoy,
Well now I've seen them I can tell you my yacht was built from the original plans!! Only a couple of modifications were made and they included the plans for the layover steering, but other than that they were a copy of your document.
Thanks very much for posting them, hopefully we'll see some new Pacific Magics in the future. I can confirm that this is a great handling and performing yacht!!

I noticed on Jeqs PMs they don't use the drop back axles and hence the yacht sits about 50mm higher. Would that have been done for rougher terrain. I was thinking about building myself a second set similar to his for the rougher ground as I constanly drag my bum on the ground over bumps or when I drop off 2 wheels.
Here you may see some videos of our landsailers, the first one is from aday we
spent near Santiago in a place called "el convento" wind was around 40km/h.
Yeah! would it not be mystical and cool to sail an environmentally and culturally sensitive course on the Nazca plateau, (Nazca lines, Peru), prior to or after visiting Machu Pichu? Stuff of dreams!
(add here theme from that TV series; "doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo etc.")
Found the lake on google earth. South of Aguada in Chile.19d44m59.45s south,69d55m17.36s west. aBSOLUTELY HUGE.
Not far away is the SALAR De UYUNI with the town of POTOSI . Biggest salt lake on earth ,access from Bolivia , I think. Can we go there please! what are the chances JEQS?
Far out, I see what you mean!! Ok Seabreeze excursion, I hope you have plenty of rooms Jeqs, we don't eat much!
