A question for some of the older crew in SA!
What is the name of the boom heads that were made at Port Noarlunga Sailboards back in around '85/'86?
I know they were trying to patent the first clamp on boom head, but I can't think of the name of them!
For those who weren't around then, I can tell you that they were crap and they didn't win the race, a euro company got there first!
Anyone know?
Muuuuuuu.. I remember the boom head but not the name
If i have a Junior moment (and Remember!) I'll get back to Ya
I don't know muzza,`but i like your idea of windless trivia' very catchy.
Hears one for you, did you know that theres Rip Curl windsurfing sails? i didn't until a mate gave me one years ago, un used and around 4.5m! I still have it, i wonder if its a collector's item yet!
yowl now thats a teaser, The boom ends were made by a guy called Andy McCraken i dont know what they were called but your right they never cut the mustard.I gave them a go for awhile back in the 80's. I think also Tyronsea had a go at a boom end.
The Rip Curl sails were a composite dacron & Mylar sail,again limited sucess,i think i still have one in the cellar but may have used it as a shade for my Hydrangea's
I think I have a photo of me using one At Diamond Head back in the 80's.
From my memory the ripcurl sails turned into windseries sails, then evolved into WildWinds. I had a set of windseries dacron wave sails in the old days. In the late 80's Wildwinds was huge don't know why they faded out of the scene I think from memory they too evolved into KA sails.
Muzza
maybe they are the same guy,he's definitly the one who went off to sell the Enerjon, have'nt seen him in at least 10ys or so.remember the Ute though!
