DB2 circa early 80's



don't know what this one is or how old it is but I am guessing about 30 years, just need to build a centreboard for it











Wow these are old school I don't rate anything newer than 2000 as remotely old school. 80's is genuine old school in my book but I'm just an old fart.

Oldest old school board and rig is an 82 Original windsurfer still pull it out occasionally with Dacron 6m Dacron sail and looong booms .

Been sailing my mistral Superlight circa 1984 several times lately - no footstraps, who needs em? Dacron Mylar sails, biggest old school sail I have (Pre monofilm) is a 6.5 wild winds which is still in reasonable condition and good grunt ( for a long board)

oldest new school board is a f2 lightning 94 and a starboard go 2005 170 using a Pryde 8.5 helium sail

newest old school board is a windsurfer LT with tractor pulling 5.7 Mylar sail. Awesome! Try it you'll like it...
