Sand Yachting in 1971 – 40 Years Ago!

Posted on March 18, 2011 by gekkosteve

Dave L sent me these photos today. Taken on Yeppoon’s beaches in 1971. This is what he says about them.

Thought you may be interested in the attached photos. Yes, that is me standing beside the landsailer and the year was 1971. Forty years ago !!!

I was just passing through Yeppoon. The landsailer belonged to some fellow from Rocky. I saw him sailing on the beach and went down for a closer look. Ended up spending the afternoon sailing with him.

Wonder if he’s still around ???

Blokart Race Video at Bangalee

Posted on February 16, 2011 by gekkosteve

A few weeks ago I raced around the beach with a camera strapped to the front of my kart. I’ve eventually put a video together. If nothing else, it clearly shows the importance of getting a fast start at the front of the fleet.

I didn’t! You can learn from my mistakes.

Sand Yachting Tow Bar Doubles Blokart Fun

Posted on February 16, 2011 by gekkosteve

We played around with a home made deuce bar (tow bar) the other day. Everyone should try this out, they are a hoot. I wonder what would happen if we had 4 bars with 5 karts in a row. As they say, watch this space.

Here are some photos with a video to follow soon.

Local Blokart Racing gets off the ground

Posted on January 17, 2011 by gekkosteve

Paul Effeney writes:-

The Blokart racing on Saturday afternoon was a lot of fun and great to see a good number of karts and people turn up.

I have attached a set of results for the races. These may need some explaining, as I have used the same scoring system that is used for sailing races. I have added some notes below the table to try and explain the points. For races that a kart did not contest/start it scored 15 points, this is based on 14 karts that raced during the afternoon plus 1.
