HEY , I spent 15 years windsurfing Rio Vista...had a trailer at the local marina and a trailer full of sails and boards,, HOWEVER the non windy days were boring so finally broke down and bought a water ski boat.... problem solved... maybe you could put a 5 hp lawn mower motor as a pusher... what do u think
Brian, Get into Radio Control aircraft. We used to bring all the toys to the lake bed so we never got skunked. It will always be windy when you bring a new plane out for it's maiden flight.
Harleyd:
Just checking in, what is happening with your LLM? Looking forward to photos.
Brian
been super busy, sail still at parachute shop..
soon though.. thanx for checkin in...
The both of you are procrastinators! No action pic's from either of you..... Only excuses.
Enough of the excuses.
Ron
That's the problem with having a job and a life. You often cannot play with your toys when you want to.
that damn work thing keeps getting in the way...but when my sail gets here I a off to sail that sucker.............pics soon
I have a couple of weeks off the first two weeks of Aug. The wind and venues here suck. Where do you sail? Is there a place to rent land yachts? I might have to load up the truck and make the 24 hour drive.
hey , Ive never sailed a land yacht ,but there is a place called misfit flats , its near reno nevada.... The good news is I found another sail and I took it to the skydive place and the alterations will be done by noon tommarow yesssss so with a little rigging I am ready to go.......yaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I am mightily impressed by that. Fancy nipping to the UK and giving me a hand?
Cheers Col
Alright! It looks good I am always impressed by nice woodwork. Happy sailing
Brian
The wind has been a little light up this way. Are you going to sail her at the sod farm or at misfits?
Hey Colin. as soon as my airline ticket arrives , Id be more than happy to come and give you a hand..... latest idea is misfit flats next friday.....
finally had a chance to sail holey moley... winds gusting to 30 mph... holey moley this little thing really moves...... have to update wheel bearings, the short wheel base is like driving my old porsche.. no more like the jeep but hey i had a ton of good runs with it and am now thinking a twin , my wife and i got to fly on a manta twiin... longer wheel base.. nice ride.
the LLM/blokart wheelbase is all part of the challenge, going bigger is for pussies
Yeah OK! So you got to sail Holey Moley and Fly a Manta Twin. Big Motorbike.
SO! Were the Hell are Bleeding Pictures?? Hmmmm?
Ron
Ron, a Manta twin is a 2 seater land yacht....here is a video of some manta twins + blokart
Shees! What am I a Dumb Shiite or sumit?? I know what a Manta Twin looks like! I was wanting Pictures or Video of Holey Moley on the GO. Sheeeees!
Ron
PS. Don't bother answering the question either GIZMO
Glad to hear your mini works well. I had the chance to sail "windburner" last week. 25 km wind. I got it up to 52.5 kpm. I could have gone faster but I kept running out of parking lot. My friend took photos which I will post once he gets over a case of severe procrastination and sends them to me. So far I have only had two opportunities to get out.

I am going to lake ivanpath near Vegas Oct. 13, 14, & 15. I will be renting a Bokart. Is this near you? Would like to see Holey Moley sail.
Brian
Ivanpah is a bit of a drive....saby....
oh land yact, i like pussy so it was fun ridding the twin with my wife...
holey moley does quite well... Leornard is donating a better sail..jst need to do a few mods to moley .. ie need a better head rest, cant see over my pot belly... new bearings, and need to try a lower airpressure next time... other wise it rocks
Just remember lower air pressure means greater rolling resistance and that means more power to push it. Wether it is stronger wind or bigger sail.
Too bad. Some day we will sail together.
Glad to hear your LLM is working well.
Brian
Saby maybe by the time you find yourself near Lake Tahoe or Sacramento I will have my landsailer ready too!
Hey ~ Northern Californians: I am building a land yacht as well (getting near done) Hope to be able to sail with you guys or trade tall tales.
I am in Santa Rosa and planning on getting this beast rolling within a week or two
I would like to hear from you
Ron
. Please take and post pics of the build so the rest of us can see it.
Oi! WillyNilly, That will be enough of that Shiite I am RON and I'll not have my name taken in vain 
And I'll not let you get away without sending in Pic's of your Beast[}:)] (Be nice now)
Ron
