im going for 3 on an original windsurfer mast
have fun .
do we have photos?just keep in mind that youve drilled a hole at the most stressed point of the axle
To be honest the axle is the last thing that will break 
it was built in a bit of a hurry... 
12mm is very light for a rear axle and putting a split pin through it on the inside
will weaken it further Maybe you could use a high tensile bolt welded on with the nut
on the outside?
Now there is the Forum Spirit I love. Just wish it and the Forum Gene will help.
Good work boys. Just when I was thinking there is no hope for the Species.

This is a project for Naffy
Here he is on his first sail last year.
We need to work on getting him to put in the odd turn or two....pity the rules state you have to go both ways
here is the current champ
here is the challenger, code named BLACK oOPS given the state of world affairs when I started building
let the battle begin
both the girls have been itching to have a go in the new yacht, its definitely a elbowpad job this one
Does a seat harness count as a "seat"?
I'm hoping so, as otherwise my entry doesn't qualify 
It should come in under the length and width criteria once I move the axles around.
I wouldn't worry about the speed, there's no way I'll feel safe above 20 km/h...
How come the kids haven't got Pointy Heads like their Dad
Hey Charlotte, I bet that yellow T shirt has,
"Suck it up buttercup" on the back. He he.

Life is too short to be a grump Ron. I'm always bloody happy!!!!!!!!
I did suffer a serious sporting injury 27 years ago, called marriage.
That put a small blemish on my mood for a time.
Geez I've nearly got her trained, so not giving her up now!!![}:)][}:)]
OK here are some pics:
New wheelbase is 880mm I think. Definitely less than 1050 anyway.
Still waiting for some wind to try it out... waiting... waiting...
i havent sailed my speedboard for well over a year now. I think it was because I hit 36kph and realized I could actually hurt myself WHEN I fell off
Hey Paul, remember this yacht and sailing at Mallala?
It used 20" bike wheels and fitted through a doorway of 820mm.
It was based on this yacht from the book "Landsailing from RC to the big ones"
