I use an old mistral superlight and a 10 year old rig. It's great fun but it definitely has a longer learning curve than a modern setup.
I took a lesson this spring with the goal of learning to ... |

Where are you located? There was a very similar package for sale on Craigslist near Burlington, VT. If you are in the area, WND&WVS offers lessons. |

It's a beautiful day out, so enjoy! Sand Bar is probably your best bet. I only sail out of Leddy park, since it's next to my house but it's only good in south wind or west wind. |

In my opinion, none of the sails on the craigslist link are a good deal for you.
- Mistral Windsurfing Sail - skip, too old
- Pacific VMax 7.9 sq meter - skip, your mast is too small
- Quantum Wi ... |

You have a good mast. It's 460cm, so it will fit most sails between 6.0 and 8.0. Make sure the mast / luff length printed on the sail is between 460 and 460 + your mast extension. You can also use ... |
