For winter I have a full size Hyde cover.

Old Windsurf Boards

There are a number of old unclaimed windsurf boards behind the club.

If one is yours, please remove it.  Alternatively if you are unable to do so by the 12^th October work party, let Mike Thomason or Janet know which it is and when you will collect it.

All unclaimed boards will be removed from behind the club in preparation for winter maintenance.

For Sale; RS Feva XL 627

Opportunity to buy an ex squad boat with a good racing record. One owner from new, not your average cadet beach toy. Has been an out-and-out racer from new and maintained accordingly.

Fast and fully race prepared; tapered sheets, Ronstan mainsheet ratchet block, auto ratchet spinnaker blocks and kicker, Harken and Ronstan throughout the rest of the boat with various aspects revised and improved over standard.

Very good foils, modern snug-fitting centerboard case fitted, wing nut on rudder stock modified for exceptionally easy tightening, carbon tiller extension. Minor chip to rear of rudder blade (pictured) easily fixed in an afternoon.

Weighed to settle an argument between friends a few years back; boat was around 20kgs lighter than number 2000 all up and they’ve only been built heavier since. Despite the age and low weight, the hull remains solid and is in very good condition with only a very minor dent to the hull, courtesy of an Irish kid who didn’t understand start lines. (pictured, way above waterline so no effect on performance) More watertight than most boats RS have made, too!
