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. ![]()

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 Cisco 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.
