I have got an F2 Lightning ,the same model as shown below .It's had a few repairs ,is now watertight and pretty light.


I think it is early 90’s ,can’t work out the exact year .




It’s 377 long,64 wide and 249 litres




It has the same stats as the 1995 board from the approved race board list but I believe it is from around 92-93.


Is this an approved board for the RB worlds?

Not only approved but it can also be very competitive. They are a joy to ride too. Can be a bit tricky with the narrow tail.

hey Akim, yours is '89.
the brochure is the next one, 1990, that 249L shape was around 89-95.
I had a couple of those and reckon they would still be a great board now.

to be legal for the worlds, it must have the IYRU sticker & a serial number; according to the regulation's.

It does not have an IYRU sticker or any serial number,I don't think those had been invented yet when these were made.The sticker below with the specs is no longer on the board as it has had a major repair to the daggerboard box where the sticker originally was. Is this going to be an issue?

My Equipe 1 XR 1991, has the sticker, its the yellow coloured one, also known as a EQ1.5 , as it doesn't have the step tail.

you should ask the organisers, they are very helpful.

This has come up before as the regs require the stickers and original graphics intact.
Personally the more the merrier!

Hi KA360
You can use your lightning in the Worlds if it hasnt been significantly altered. Graphics and serial numbers help to insure that and that the same board is used in the whole competition. The main objective is fair racing. Our measurer has the final word and will need to see the board on the day.

Here are photos of the actual board,its obviously had a hard life and some damage and repairs . It has no official IYRU sticker or serial number but it is clearly an early 90's lightning. Would this board be accepted as 100% legal by the race committee?

What more can I add?
If you are not cheating, it should be ok.
Are you planning to win the championship?
If you are, then you would probably want to put it beyond doubt and get one with serial numbers. Otherwise just bring it and join the fun.

Looks in far better condition than my 18 month old Starboard Phantom 377L which has several 30cm deck cracks...

The three plubber eggs that were laid on the rigging lawn during the worlds have hatched.
