Buggy to land yacht conversion kits? 1 Year, 5 Months ago  
Is there such a thing as a bolt on convesion kit for a kite buggy to turn it from a standard kite buggy into a land yacht?

Would be interesting!

I've not heard of anything before although I don't see why it wouldnt work on some of the heavier built race buggies. Your main problem comes with finding a point to attach the main sheet to for controlling the boom.... Also finding a point to secure the mast to that has a low CofG, doesnt twist the downtube and doesnt get in the way of you're legs going downto the feet controls would be tricky.

OK why would you want to convert your buggy into a slow sorry land yacht?

Yeah I thought it would be good fun if you could adapt something i already have into another form of wind powered vehicle! Keep me away from your x-sails Owain esp if im feeling flush!
