A quick Google search on: 80m yagi turns up a bunch of links.
Optibeam, M2 & Force 12 all manufacturer 2 or 3 element yagis for 75/80 meters.

My "Elmer" entered a "Liars Cintest" at a Ham fest and won with this.. " Built a 160 meter rhombic on an island that I bought and ran a pair of 6L6's, The metal ones , upside down in a pail of water. I ran those babies at 150 watts. Then made a rare DX contact by rotating the island for maximum gain."
So much for long wire antennas..
Oh! I'm CQ.... Code Qualified
