Mistral equipe raceboard out of storage !
It has been a few years since the last time I did any windsurfing so I thought it was about time to get back into it! I still have some kit left over from when I stopped which includes a mistral equipe raceboard, boom, 6.5m sail, harness etc.
The board is in remarkable condition apart from a small hole in the bow (bottom right on photo) and some crush damage on the tail both of which should be easy to repair and of course the centreboard gasket needs renewing (usual for these boards) once that is done it should be ready to go!
I have also invested in a used 7.4m sailworks sail (ebay) and a new mast, my old mast was past its´best. So hopefully this should get me going again... until I am able to progress back to something a bit shorter that is! .Apparently these longboards are back in vogue again so maybe with a bit of luck there might be someone else around to race with!!
