FOR STOPPING BY
This site is still developing and as I get time (a rare commodity these days) I will add a lot more information particularly on landsailing both in New Zealand and abroad. In the meantime, please excuse some of the site's shortcomings... rest assured there's a lot more to come!! If you've time, drop me a line through my Guest Page - I warmly welcome any comments and advice you may have. As well, any landsailing news or images you have, send them on down.

THE LUDIC - A GEM FROM IMACNZ
The Seagull-designed LUDIC under the scrutiny

Andy Parr has fallen in love with THE LUDIC,
so much so he decided to put his feelings for the
little craft down on "paper".
THE LUDIC is now available in New Zealand and is being manufactured
by Ian McLachlan of IMACNZ.
