Windsurfing Used Sails

We have a nice selection of used sails that can keep the price of your first board package low. When you first start windsurfing you'll be uphauling and falling quite a bit so there is no sense in buying a new sail and then scratching it all up. When starting out a sail in that 4.5 sq meter to 5.5 sq meter size is all you need. If you have teens or a wife then you might even want a sail in that 3.5 to 4.5 range. Please note I am NO longer shipping any used sails that are priced under $100. You must make an appointment to come see the sail or meet up with me at MBSP. A note about Dacron and SUN verses mylar. UV rays destroy clear plastic monofilm. UV rays also affect Dacron but not near as quickly. I've heard that just after 80 hours of sun rays monofilm starts to cloud, after 300 hours it goes brittle and basically falls apart. This is why you still see many older Dacron sails available. They are excellent sails for beginners and you can leave them rigged all day in the sun if you want. Older monofilm sails, if the the monoflim is cloudy you just don't know how much life is left, maybe alot maybe very little. Dacron was used from beginning up to mid-80's. In the mid 80's we had mylar backed dacron which was lighter dacron with a 2 mil clear layer of plastic adhered to it which eliminated stretching. Around 1993 monofilm became cheap to produce and became the standard and dacron panel construction disappeared. Monofilm has other advantages besides low stretch in that it does not absorb water making it lighter when wet with no drying time. Dacron however can be kinked sharply without problems unlike monofilm which easily gets permanent creases in it which become weak points. In the late 90's X-ply monofilm which is kevlar strings sandwiched between two thin 2mil layers of monofilm became popular. X-Ply is stronger and sometimes tinting is used between the layers to make it more UV resistant. A note about board sanding. The deck of windsurfing board often has a non-slip surface of grit that acts like rough sandpaper on skin and sails. You should knock down any high points of grit with light sandpaper before sailing a new board. The grit on the front several inches of the board nose and likewise a few inches from the tail and any on the sides of the board should be sanded near smooth. That will help save you from costly sail repairs. Never drag your sail over the board surface when uphauling as that grinds the sail threads down!   If you need a metric conversions see the link on the bottom left of menu.   Old New Stock Sails - these sails though previous model years are high quality sails at a price you'd pay for new cheap bargain no-name brand. $325 - New - 5.5 Gastra Flow 2x,              2 cam, 1999, 460 mast $125 - New - 5.1 Gastra MX Race,            4 cam, 1995, 430 mast $225 - New - 4.3 Windwing Slalom Comp   2 cam, 1993, 460 mast $125 - New - 4.1 Gastra MX Race,            4 cam, 1995, 400 mast $180 - New - 3.2 Gun Wave                      no cam, 4 batten, 2000, 400 mast , 138 boom   $65 - New - Hifly Kids mast                    3 pc , with base adapter   specs, top North Zeta 4.2 - Used - $150 - RAF - 5 battens - this sail is like new, owner had only used it a couple sessions. These North Zeta wave sails are built with a bit heavier fabric and X-ply in the panels and thus are tough and long lasting. specs, top, logo Aerotech Universal Slalom 6.5 - $65 - RAF - 5 batten - nice older lightweight monofilm sail, no problems, sail bag has mildew stains but sail is clean specs, top Wadell Surf Slalom 4.2 - Used - $35 - 5'-4" boom, 430 mast, adustable top, 5 battens with 1 cam - dacron mlyar backed panels, the sail unfortunately was shipped flat leaving creases and delams in the panels.

Mylar backed dacron, one spot by lower batten the mylar was pulled away, which I've repaired with a patch over it. If you need a old bigger sail to match that reto board this one will do the job.

Like new - Mistral IMCO - $45, around a 5.0 in size , RAF, 2 mini battens, all dacron, 14' 4" luff and 8' 4" boom, fixed top cap, orange sleeve, white with colorfull graphics.
