Formula Windsurfing Quiver

The ultimate  central Texas, formula windsurf racing quiver.  None of your wimpy compromise gear here.  No bull, the best gear money can buy.  If you've ever wondered why no one could catch me on Lake Travis - great gear and time on the water...  Now, kiting madness forces sale.  Everything must go.  No compromise or realistic offer ignored.

The Starboard Formula 162

If you've never sailed an all wood work of art, you don't know what you're missing.  Starboard's Formula is the most successful racing board in Windsurfing history. Its not just speed on the water and light weight, its a a more direct feel that you've just got to feel to believe.  Don't trust me, ask just about every top rider in 2009 from Antoine Albeau, Kevin Pritchard and Julien Quentel to our own Brian S.  If you never buy another formula board, this is it.

The same board new today will cost you nearly 2K.  This one is in great condition for $799

Full around board shots are here.


Mauisails TR Race Sails

I moved over to Mauisails in 2007 and was just amazed by the stability and high wind handling of the TR sails.  Super tuned and perfectly refined and balanced for easy top speed and the wide range necessary for top results in crowded racing. Beyond that they are pretty much made for gusty variable conditions.  Again, why am I pretty much the faster board on lake Travis - gear, gear, gear...

This is pretty much my entire race quiver.  Purchased on late 2008 they are all TR4 in good to great condition.  I'm prepaired to make a deal on the right mast to go on any sail.  Like i say, everything must go so nno serious offer ignored.
I've got a full quiver as follows:

TR4 8.5m - White and Black - $249 OBO
TR4 10m - White and Black - $249 OBO
TR4 11m - White and Black - $249 OBO

TR5 xt 12m - The Ultimate Light Wind Sail

I could have included this with the other race sails, but its quite simply a stand out.  This is a special order light wind planing machine.  If you've ever come over the ridge and looked down onto a glassy lake Travis with one sail, alone, ripping it up while everyone else bobs around like corks - it was probably this sail (with a custom F4 fin - see below)

This sail has seriously only been used about 5 times.  Its in perfect condition.  Full Dimension™ Technora™ scrim laminate that is about half the weight of normal film material, but with better stability.  The  reduced weight aloft combined with the supple character of this specialized XPly™ makes a sail that is so easy to use, especially with the easy handling and comfortable character of the TR-5 design.  


New nearly these are $1400 - Selling for $499

Race Fin Quiver

The fin is the main connection to the water and a critical element of speed and up wind performance.  I'm always amazed when I see good riders on crappy fins wondering why they can't point as high.  ITS ALL FIN DUDE... The following are the best fins I've found and come together to complement each of the race sails above.  These are Deb custom hand finished fins that retail for about $400 each.

Deboichet R16 64 cm Medium +4 - Like new -  $175

Deboichet R16 66 cm Medium +4- had a small tip repair -  $100

Deboichet R16 68 cm Medium +6 - had a small tip repair - $100


Deboichet R16 70 cm soft-- +8 - brand new - $185





F4 - C-Rad 72-4cm Custom Race Fin

Again here, there's a stand-out. The ultimate light wind fin.  This guy was quite literally made to accompany the TR5 12m TR5 xt.  Its 100% custom, not race legal by standard formula rules but has lift, early planning and sustained upwind drive like nothing I've ever tried before.  It's quite literally in absolute mint condition.  Even the fin cover will have you dueling to be on the water.  No compromise, no prisoners!

If you're between 150-190lb's and you're looking for a complement to an 11m or 12m sail in 8-17mph quite literally you can't have anything on the planet made better than this.  To be honest, if you juts feel it you'll want it.  Its a work of art.

Sale at $350 OBO

Booms

I've got two HPL race booms for sale.  One brand new still in the bag and the other used but in v-good shape.  These are the 100% carbon indestructible ones that even Ted S. couldn't break :-)

New one for $300
Used one, fully rigged for $175

Masts

Rule #1.  Never scrimp on the mast.  If you have 70% v 100% carbon - does it really matter?  Does a couple of ounces here or there made a difference? YOU BET IT DOES.  Put a half a pound of weight out on the end of 3m pole and pick it up... Its heavy.  Put that on the end of a sail.  Same deal.  Weight is big but flex is bigger.  100% carbon masts are almast essential for big sails.  Not so in the waves, but for big race sails its essential.

I've got a full quiver of Italica masts.  These Italian made beauties wear black but they sure are racy.  Italica made the high end masts for MauiSails, Sailworks, North and few others.  They are simply the best,,, better than all the rest.  All  are less than a season old and in awesome shape.
