Love the 5 batten Severne custom sail. What size is it and want mast did you need to use to get it to set so well for someone so light?

Alex's board is 32 cm wide and about 35 litres, an awesome looking waterski.
We are planning to get back to Sandy Point very soon,we had a fantastic time when we were there,cold,but met so many nice people.Victoria has a great windsurfing community.Alex has some unfinished business,30 knots is his goal.


What size fin is Alex using in this board, i scored a set of Anders speed fins when I was in Maui, I can throw a freebee 18 your way if you are interested. It is a Liberty starboard assy, I nearly always sail port tack runs and a bit small for me.
It will do over 30 easily actually over 40 easily.
can post a pic if inerested.

Firstly before I forget again what this topic was actually all about,

Daffy you are a legend and not because of an age division!

Alex and I would greatly appreciate you (+Spotty and others) for giving Alex the lowdown,advice and encouragement while we were at Sandy Point. Alex recognises a windsurfing legend instantly and absorbs every word of advice.We should be back down your way straight after new year and hope to sail with you again.

YOYO- Alex's sail is a 4.2m hand made by Ben Severne himself.It rigs on a 340/11/60% that weighs 1.1kg .Ben is in the process of making Alex a matching 3.2m and 5.0m .The XS-1 sails rig on a 300/10 and only 950g ,which makes them in a league of their own ,no other kids rigs come close.

JIMBOB SA- Alex is using a C3 venom 23cm which Carbon Art supplied with the board. It worked well,but the windward rail was starting to lift. I think in stronger wind I think it will be too big. So yes we would be very interested in an 18,thanks very much for thinking about us.
Alex reached a speed of 25 knots in 16-18 knots of wind with the 4.2. He should be able to hold that size sail till 24-25 knots and a smaller fin will stop the board from lifting with his light weight and hopefully crack the elusive 30.
