Hi there, I am a teacher in a country school, we have introduced an Outdoor Education unit to our curriculum.
Guess what the first project is ? "building land yachts", at this point I might just add I am a female teacher who had never even heard of a landsail, coming from Tassie I had never seen a salt lake either.
Well!!! we help, in the form of old or damaged sails and masts that we can attempt to recycle into a sail for our yachts. So please if you have some laying in the garage, think of us.
We are 6 hours away from Perth but can arrange pick up any donated materials. I will thank you all in advance for your generosity.
I'm of to practice my welding, (another burn another bandaid), cheers Lynda.

Hi Lynda...we have a few sails in the garage..
is there a particular size you are after..and I shall check for you and get back to you..Cheers Gyp's
Lynda needs stuff up to 6.5m. ideally sails with lots of dacron. the more modern monofilm stuff is a bugger to recut. BUT the battens and mast pockets can be used. So really any thing she can lay her hands on. weve recut original windsurfer sail successfuly before .
Ive volunteered to do all the cutting and sewing for the project. Her efforts so far have been great . Any masts or even broken stuff can be recycled. . Any help would be great as the kids doing the work will otherwise go off making dust on quads, or hanging about shopping malls instead 
Hi Lynda...
Just a show of support and hopping your start to the school year and your
"land yacht" project is going well..
