Hello everyone,
I’m thinking about picking up some second-hand windsurfing gear and need some advice. About 3 years ago I bought an old Tyronsea 370 (cm I suppose?) longboard with mast, boom and three sails. I only wanted the sails at the time for my landsailer but I’ve since used the gear for its intended purpose on and off. Due to the narrow river where I sail, I can tack pretty reliably and gybe intermittently. I think I’ve managed to waterstart a few times. Anyway I had a really nice run the other day and I think I should get some better equipment. To give you an idea of the age of the stuff I have, the sails have Dacron luff pockets, soft vinyl windows and that awful de-laminating fabric/film stuff everywhere else. The board is a plastic thing, with a pivoting daggerboard and a long mast track.

I like to sail cats and build my own gear, so I know how to sail and how to fix things. I want to go fast on flat water and maybe try some small surf when I get a bit better. I weigh about 67kg. Student budget.

What should I be looking for?
Any help would be much appreciated. Sorry for the rambling post.

Thanks,

Leon.
