Hi! all. I have been following the forum for quiet a while and as such have built a LLM. A big thanks to landyacht for the plans. I have built it much to plan except for the seating which I will change as I go along. Needed to be able to disassemble it and tuck it away as I don't have to much room. The sail is my next job to modify. I am lucky enough that the local tip shop gets the occasional
sail board discard which I have been able to pick-up at a very good price. I sailboarded for a short while and turfed the board and kept the rest. Haven't sailed it yet as the local council doesn't like vehicles on the beach. Will have to find a quiet one to have a sail. Cheers BD

Nice build there mate. I am sure you will eventually swap those steel wheels for plastic ones when they rust out.

The centre spine design of the LLM does not really allow a soft seat to be fitted. If you are handy with fibreglass a moulded seat is a lot better than a flat bottom seat.

Most importantly make sure you fit a decent seat/body belt. When you are screaming down the beach at 80 kmh and you can out, you do not want to be spat out of the kart.

NICE !!!!!
Looking great.

Falshaws would have been the go but thought I'd build and sail it to see if I enjoyed it enough to upgrade them. Some more pics
of the build

Cant see much wrong with that seating but, like Chook said, a seat belt is a survival neccessity

There fixed it for ya.

Those side rails and floor pan look a bit "blokartish".

sisco you are right about the blokart similarities. Having only seen landsailing on TV a very long time ago and thought that it would be fun to have a go. With the sail, mast and boom I had from the windsurfer I started looking on the net for plans to build one. LLM and blokarts were the one I found. Looking through seebreeze I found a rolling LLM chassis picture, printed it off and started sketching seating and floor pans. I wanted to use a trampoline style seat because I thought it would be easy to remove and pack away. When I started to mock it up I found that with the T style chassis i would have had to mount the seat quite high so as to not be sitting on the main spine of the chassis. I didn't want a tub style seat bolted to the chassis and have to try and find a place to store it in the yard. As it is I can disassemble it in a few minutes and tuck it away in the garage and garden shed.
