Lots of new toys
justal - 26-3-2005 at 12:47
Well, theres very little wind so I've just been and ordered lots of new toys instead:
1x 2005 6.7m Gun Jam sail (freestyley with apparently a really good bottom end).
1x 2005 5.7m Gun Wave MC sail (one of my favourites).
1x 145-205 wave boom (to replace the one I snapped a few weeks ago)
2 x Heavy duty wave bases (to replace to two I've snapped this year)
1 x 2o inchfixed harness lins
1x uphaul
1 x 32cm US Box Jam fin (to go with the 6.7m fin)
The 6.7m sail and 32cm fin were special order so won't be dispatched for a couple of weeks, but the rest should leave Gun on Tuesday
and be with me sometime around the end of next week..... Lovely Jubbly!
The we need some wind so that I can get out there and use / abuse it all.

9.4m!! Thats huge, I thought I was going a little OTT with the 6.7m which is the biggest sail I've ever owned... Mind you, thinking of
getting a mini-mal surfboard at some point too... Maybe it's an age thing!

age, hmm could be or it could be lack of exersice making me fat and therefore wanting more power !
anyway just rigged it in work car park, it's f'ing huge <lol>
can't believe i'm saying this but heres hoping for 10-15knts of wind for the weekend, not that i'll mind if there's more
justal - 31-3-2005 at 15:26
Well, I've just spent half an hour battling with loads of bubble-wrap and packing tape nas the new kit has arrived... It actually
arrived yesterday but the silly delivery driver parked outside our house and then went next door for some reason... Found no-one was
home so went again!!!
Everything looks as expected.. But then most of the stuff was direct replacements for things I had worn out so there were no
surprises...A lthough the new Wave MC sail looks REALLY nice... I'll order a nice 20 knots for the weekend please!

Ive just added a new toy to my toybox an 8.5 lightning.
Don't think my 8.5 is going to last another summer so bought the exdemo sail from brog while is was still there Has only seen 3 months
demo use and about £160 less than a new one

Count me in with the new toys...
Just picked up a 2002 Fanatic RIP 92 ltr wave board.
Just need some wind and a free day now ;-)

Got myself a bargain 8.5 (as it was from 2003, but never left the shop) 
Unfortunately I've got to spend what I saved on a new boom to fit it. 
Hey - that counts as another new toy

Well done Dave, you'll be out in 12-14 knot summer breezes now...
Wes - 13-4-2005 at 11:18
Right then BEFS - thats both of us with the same sail!
I'll race ya.........
Just to add in, I'm going to buy a new 4.5 Rock on friday, then a new North boom to rig with it, Oh, and a 75% Tush mast was bought
last Thursday.
Toys toys toys......
badexcuseforasailor - 13-4-2005 at 16:14
I got a Blue one what colour's yours ?
I think mines probaly got more weight to carry
Wes - 14-4-2005 at 07:44
SNAP!
Got the blue one as well. Can't wait to use it, on the new Stoke 125 I could beat cammed 9.5's on flat water with my old 8.0 Heckler
although I could not get going quite as soon - should scream along on the Lightning!
Summer sea breezes here we come
justal - 14-4-2005 at 16:20
My new 6.7m arrived today as well... Just had a look at it in the garden and it looks pretty big to me... I thought it would be my
summer sea breeze sail but theres you guys with much bigger ones!!

Mmm, sure there's some comment I could make there about windsurfers with big ones.......
But I'll bite my lip instead....
Wes - 18-4-2005 at 10:59
Well I got my 4.5, but decided on the more powerful Storm instead. That should be it for now, unless someone has a Mistral Syncro 90
for sale.....
