Hello windsurfers,

We are the UNSW windsurfing club, and as student club we don t have much money . Therefore, this is a call for generosity : If you have old gear that you don't use anymore (wetsuit with holes, bases, booms, sails, mast), you can offer them a second youth and make some student happy .

We also collect boards if they have a screw or a nutlike system (we don t collect those with a slice system in order to keep our gear into 2 defined formats).

Please contact Olivier (olivierDOTzembAThotmailDOTcom, 0421435579) and we ll make an arrangement.

I seize that opportunity to also advertise the club. We do trips over WEs on a regular basis, where we rent a beach house and sail all day. Email me for more info.

PS : Bruce, if you are reading this, thanks a lot for your board. It is perfect for ppl learning to jibe ! And I am almost ready to go for our wave session.

Hi Olivier, what are you referring to as ' a screw or nutlike system', and 'a slice system'. I have never heard these terms before.

Hi Formula nova,

I do have some problems with the english terms.

Screw system : you screw the 8mm thread from you base into a piece of metal that is in the board. Typically former onedesigns us that system

Nut system : the system where you have a 8mm thread with a nut at the end. On your board, you have some rail with a wide end where you can get the nut in, slide the mast to the desired position and screw it tight. All the newer boards (after 80 s s)have this awesome system. The only difference with the first system is that you have an extra nut. Appart from that the mast bases are identical.

Slice system : your mast is ending by a piece of hard plastic that you just stick into a whole in the board. That always comes out, and we are trying to get rid of that system. Thise boards cannot be used with the other two systems

Hope that helps,
Olivier

Makes sense - he wants boards that have:

a) a conventional modern mast-track

b) a one-design mast track

Ahhhhh......OK

You know can convert to a modern (chinook) mast track for about $30? $20 for the mast track and $10 for fibreglass resin and catalyst.

Thanks Olivier, I have never seen those terms before and couldn't quite figure it out.

I will have to see what I can come up with in the way of boards and stuff. I seem to collect old/damaged boards, so I might be able to part with one or two.

If anyone has any boards that are broken up/damaged that they want to donate, let me know and I will see if I can fix em up and send them along.
