I thought you did not sail cam sails ''not for me'' i think were your words.

Next you'll be telling us on heavy weather that you no longer buy the official fairytale.

Or if anyone clever knows another brand that will fit?

Ta

I had some cams from a Gaastra formula sail a while ago, but I am not sure if I still have them. I am guessing that maybe they are similar to the MauiSails ones. Do you have a photo of what they look like?

If its any help, I think KA used exactly the same cams for their Koncepts, but no guarantees

Windsurf shops usually have a box of spare cams, even ones of brands they don't sell. Take one of yours next time you go in and see if you can find a matching one, or contact Jesper at Sail Repair WA. He certainly has lots of KA ones, and probably other brands as well.

it shouldn't be hard to find a cam , i had a 5.0 ka concept rigged on a skinny with 3 cams ,the cam above the boom was a wide gaastra and the other two were the smallest n/p that fit a standard mast, have a look at some of the older pryde's they are numbered but are the same length

Thanks for the offer Moondoggy - I don't have the sail with me cos it is in the nearest capital city to enable easy viewing. Grrr I am buggered either way hahaha
When I can I will examine a cam and let you all know.
Have a Tush race sail a few years older so might cannabilise that and see.

OK will try Remi (was talking to him about something else and never thought to ask - duh Mark) but before I commit to buying new, here is the pic.

This is a Gaastra cam that was on the sail and is identical to the Maui Sails ones

Gaastra X-cam.... gap where batten goes in is 40mm wide..... rear edge (where batten seats) to the rollers is 43 - 45mm

anyone got one (I am stingey and the sail is for sale so I don't want to spend too much on it if I don't have to!)




Also - I was going to try a Tushingham cam from an old sail and it would not fit. so from the sail I have 4 tush cams and a few tube/rod battens if anyone needs anything. It was a 7m "Airforce" which about 10yrs old

what do they look llike, most cams are the same length but different cup size

i think its a DD cup

More angles

Easy to see the broken bit

anybody got one?

Keef, what's the one with the white rollers? I took apart a Gaastra sail years ago, and when I got some Koncepts I noticed that the KA cams looked just like the Gaastra ones.

Is it a KA or Gaastra?

ka used to be wild winds and there still using the same cams well that cam is from an 08 koncept the ones without rollers are wildwinds
