Ahh ! that's real land sailing, this is what I cut my teeth on when I was a nippa.
This was my toy at fifteen years of age when fear never entered my head.
This yacht is almost 30 years old.

Found this a couple of days ago. These are old and big!



Vision-On was a BBC TV art programme for children during the late 60's/early 70's, and was slightly bizarre even then! Love the steering wheel

No andrew, it got cut up for parts way back in the mid 80's as the steel frame inside had rusted away. However the 2ply wooden wingmast and the rear axle still exists and is on a yacht that hasnt sailed for a while in Adelaide
I do believe thats me sailing in the background

Not sure Ron. It looks bigger than I remember them to be. I was thinking along the lines of old Ford - something like a Zodiac. Nice bit of footage for the pro- seat belt people as well!
