Hi all,

I was wondering what happend to all the old homebuild landyachts?
I meen once you build a new one, youre not likely to take the( old) one
For a ride. Maybe a friend will ride it a couple of times, but thats about it.
And since the building part is a virus in itselve, youre likely to build a new one before
The end of the (old ones) workin life so to speek.

I meen are they caneballized ?
Givven or sold to others?
Gathering dust in the shed?
Brougt to the scrap container?
Or is there a qwiet corner on lake lefroy where they are parkt? (Like a elephant graveyard)


Just wondering

I know at the original island on lake Lefroy there was in fact a yacht graveyard as I played on them as a kid, while the old man went sailing.
