My highwind speed gear (formula + 11m) is not getting me enough time on water

Does anyone have a mistral one design or similar that they want to send to a new home? Happy to part with some cash for one in reasonable nick.

I actually popped out to the tip today to see if I could get lucky. They had about a eight boards (including an elvstrom King One krazyhero ) but all were missing mast base fittings, centreboards, fins etc.

I don't surf or fish and don't have $1000 for a SUP. Gliding through flat water in 5 kts of wind on a nice day can be quite relaxing.

Nostalgia got the better of me. An Original Windsurfer, complete with all original parts, $60. Plastic slot mast base (not wooden like I had when I were a lad). Also comes with a book to remind me how to put the boom onto the mast Can't wait to get it on the water.

Had three sessions on the Wally so far. I'd forgotten how well they glide. Screwed on a modern mast base on top of the slot box and I reckon my code red 7m is a good match. My five year old son loves it - cruising round on the back of the board with a big smile.

Still keen to get an IMCO or Div II or similar - something light and fast in 5kts. Happy to part with the $ for one in good condition. Was talking to an old timer today who has two IMCOs but uses them for a cat set up so would not part with one.

Picked this up from the Dunsborough tip for $10, a Cobra 366 Race. Anyone seen one before? I guess it's from the Cobra factory but Google doesn't show much. Only thing missing is the centreboard flaps, not sure how hard it will be to find something to replace them.

Hi Paddy, this might be what your looking for, and have lots of other old windsurfing parts.
