Busy day today,
-collected more land yacht building materials
-found a welding tutor
-got my xmas present early
-GF out of town more land yacht building time
-started making a jig (copied Paul's jig)

Jig building this afternoon tested a couple of my new xmas presents (thanks santa for the new welder and mask).

Getting ready for Class 5 building programme and new mini.





More to come, Just need to keep the GF away when I'm on day's off as I am a lot more productive.

Ben.

Why not go the hole hog Ben and build an ott with 26"wheels. The hardest part was the wheels but we have that all worked out now.

Gday Ben, just PM me if you were chasing any carbon masts for the cl5.
I live in Mandurah and regularly troll through gumtree and ebay and would be more than happy to nab 1-2 for you if they were needed (Same goes for anyone out in the goldfields). I am guessing you will be heading our way in January

haha I just read the mastdebating thread, can I see you if I need a mast.

I am going to try a new set of 26"wheels this season. 75mm wide no welding, I will let you know how they handle Lake Walyungup. Very easy to make.
Looking forward to seeing some more bi g wheel yachts

thr class 5 yachts are a flat y frame ,but can convert easily to 26" wheels. 2 of the yachts will go straight to 26as the bought my sets of 50mm rims.
the building went well this saturday, but i cant uploal pics or plans at the mo. .
good to see the lads pulling their fingers out and cutting,grinding,setting up for welds.
