HI, just putting this out there to see if anyone can help. I purchased a second hand windsurfer for my daughter's 21st, supposedly a complete package, only to find when it arrived that the piece that connects the mast to the deck plate is missing. I know nothing about windsurfing, so a very kind guy suggested I post the pictures here to see if anyone can help me out.

He says that what I have purchased is an old windsurfer one design, the original windsurfer. He also says someone has done a dodgy modification by screwing a deck plate into the board over the original mast socket, and that I cannot buy the replacement mast base that plugs into that deck plate.

Does anyone out there know if there is anything I can do or buy to salvage this?

Appreciate any comments!!!
