You can get Pre 97 sails VERY VERY cheap!! I know of quite a few of the 13m kites you can use for literly pence! I know Tim has a 13m which he doesnt use anymore - ask him! Have you got the boat yet? |

Wind surf masts have been used quite a lot as bowsprits some of them can be a bit flexable but are generaly OK If you can get someone to give you a carbon one then OK but I would not shell out more money for a carbon windsurfer mast than a glass one. Other things you could look for would be the tip from a broken carbon mast, just remove the fittings grind the track off and you have a nice round tapered tube. You should have a go at scrounging for parts before buying as there are always bits of broken boat lying around that can be pressed into service. I think the boat you are talking about has a wooden hull if so I would recommend keeping the rig pre 97 it is a lot of work to upgrade wider gunnals, a snout to move the forestay forward etc A conversion to asymetric is definatly worth it though.

If it doesn't break it's too heavy; if it does it wasn't built right

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category =2920&item=5223807631&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW Would this windsurf mast do for a bowsprit (obviosuly cut down) or is it too heavy? |
