After learning to windsurf at Ela Beach during 1983/84, and struggling in any
wind above a force 3 with the floppy sails available at that time, I became increasingly
interested in designing and making windsurfing sails and boards, particularly for speed...
first attempts - anything is better than a Regatta sail! This one was made from
dacron. (1985) picture
Y-boom: this high aspect ratio rig was given more support at the trailing edge by
a Y-shaped boom. Made from mylar with 5 full battens. (March 86) pictures
the DSC board - deep spiral concaves, no fin (1986) pictures
