Have recently picked up a couple of tyronsea 370s for my kids, also a bic metal rock for when they want something shorter. As I haven't sailed since September/October last year because of shoulder injury and that it was blowing 20 - 25 knts yesterday I thought I would try it out before handing it over to the kids, the sail is old but probably not retro yet, still in good condition.
metal rock about 3.1m long
np nr 4.5 wave sail
fin no idea, probably 27-30 long
wind se 20-25 knts
Queens beach Redcliffe qld

as your boom sponsor i would have thought you would mention the retro north hd boom intact with harness lines from the ninety,s that our company supply's you as a good will gesture,{ in exchange for room at your house} we would like to be mention in your next production,
also does the metal rock always slow down when it see,s a wave or lip ,i only remember that the fin box would fall out and leave you stranded in the cooktown river for 2 hours wondering if you were going to die from shark or crocodile attack. how was the back and shoulder after this, did it hold up
