I'm on a quest to figure out how to make a mini break down small enough to take to Ireland. My parameters are 70lbs/31.75 kg max and less than 115''/292 cm in length. It will need to be open frame minimal seating. Any suggestions?

I like the LLM. I am assuming it could be improved by moving the seat back and the rig forward with a touch more rake and lowering the boom ht as much as possible. Am I on the right track?

US772, look at my pic post for my mini landsailer, folds completely flat and goes in a bag. Bag 54"L x 24"W x 12"H Weight 55 lbs. This does not include mast & sail.

My ski-mini breaks down to a small package, but pretty hard to get down to 31 kg. The steel frame is the heavy bit. may be make that out of Aluminium?

Put new tyres on whatever you decide to take. Some countries are a bit picky about seeds and weeds stuck on the tyres. Makes it easier at boarder/customs inspections
