Gear
for loan
We have 3 complete sets of gear
for
loan. A complete set consists of a board and a rig (i.e. board, fins,
UJ, extension,
mast, boom and sail).
A
HiFly Motion board
suitable for complete beginners + a rig.
Two HiFly
Transition boards for more experienced beginners + a rigs.
Additionaly, we own a Starboard Start board suitable
for a complete beginner. This board is quite fragile, and we are only using
it for supervised, club-organized LTW activities.
When you call up the quartermistress
you
can discuss what is suitable for you and what is available.
The Quartermistress
does not deliver gear. No exceptions!

Detailed
gear overview
BOARDS
HiFly Motion. This board is 290cm long, 90cm wide, 219 liters and weights 18.9 kilograms. It has standard Chinook/American mast track, Powerbox fin and a large centerboard. It is an excellent learning platform.
2 HiFly 330’s. These boards are 10'10" long, 25.6" wide and 192 liters. Both use an 8mm pin base (Fanatic, Bic), and one also has threads to accept an "American" style base with a bolt on the bottom (Chinook, WS Hawaii, etc). It has a medium-size centerboard. These boards are good learning platforms for someone looking to progress.
Starboard Start. This board is 9' long, 40" wide, 225 liters and has a padded deck. This is a huge board that is a very good learning platform. It is really difficult for one person to carry alone. It comes with a Tangent weed fin, Tuttle base and a Tuttle base center fin. The attachment of a boom bra is a MUST with this board. NOTE: This board is not available for general checkout.

Stuff we
need:
Could use: better 400 and 430 masts.
Could use: easy-to-rig sails size 5.0 - 7.0 with some life left
Don't Need: old/heavy/broken sails, masts, booms, booties, wetsuits, harnesses, or anything you would otherwise throw away :-)
The club would like to trade the two World 7.5 sails from the mid-90's for a 400cm or 430cm mast, or smaller sails in the 5.0-6.0 size range.
