Mechanical Parasailing Holiday

Imagine a holiday by the seaside, staying in a modern holiday villa that looks down onto the sea. You enjoy the sight and the soothing breeze from the window, then go for a walk through the greenery, through the nearby village, then climb up a lighthouse. That will be quite a nice relaxing holiday.
But what will make this holiday THAT holiday? Parasailing! So after having lunch at the village, you go to the beach, and up you go into the sky, enjoying the sight and the ride.

Spin the crank, and the boat moves back and forth, while the base of the rod also moves around. The minifigure -which is pulled up by the tension of the string- moves about as the distance of the three points of the triangle change.

The second picture shows the path the minifigure takes. As I do not have access to physical bricks at the moment, I plan to make a working model on a later date.

Total pieces: 220
