Here is a cheap and easy blokart pod you can make yourself. Note this is not an official blokart product for racing in blokart events however if you sail as a mini or just want to stop getting covered in crap they are fine.

Materials:
-silver tarp
-25mm webbing
-Press stud domes
-Core flute (screeN)
-Plywood
-10mmx 2mm Flatbar
-SS srews
-Tarp Bungies
-Silver duct tape

Think total cost was less than $50AUD

Very cool!

Is there any way you could post the pattern for the POD body?

I'll measure my patterns then post them.

This pod is great for racing in mini 5.6m spec or just cruising and not wanting to get covered in salt.
