We have a nice selection of used sails that will lower
the price of that first new board package by three or four
hundred dollars. 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 also want a sail in that 3.5 to 4.5 range.
To get an accurate quote for shipping a sail to you, please
include city, state and zip code and whether a residence
or business address when emailing
us. Note smaller sized sails under 6.0 can usually be
sent USPS Priority 2-3 days for $20 to $25. Sails requiring
a box over 79" long we must ship UPS.
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. Around 1993
monofilm became cheap to produce and became the standard
and dacron panels were out. 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.
Anyway the point of all this is that currently there still
are a lot of nice old dacron sails out there. 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.
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!

Neilpryde Search 5.8 - Used - $150 - very nice

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.

Rushwind 6.3 - USED - $50 - 6 battens - top can adjust
- 80" boom and 15' 9" luff, should work on 460 mast
with some extension. Surely an older sail from the late 80's but
it is in ok shape. I didn't see any patches or areas that need
repairs. There is no size label I could find on it but it was
sold as a 6.3 and it looks to me to be that size.
