Going to get interesting when you get that thing up on the plane with the dagger board in back to front.
BTW - no help on board apart from Mark's comment above apart from is it a Mistral (it doesn't look like a mistral panAm though???)

Thanks for the replies guys, but we had a fair idea that it was a Mistral PanAm C1 but that's all . The dagger board is not in the wrong way around and according to my elder brother
this board works really well in heavy weather.

So in the early 80's before the World Cup started they had an event in Hawaii that was the Pan Am Cup. It had offshore course racing and slalom I think. It was a sort of run with what ya brung thing. It expanded to become the Pan Am World Cup and people sort of experimented with all sorts of ideas. The sailing was offshore in big winds. Most of the boards were custom. I suspect that is a production board made to be like the Pan Am boards that existed around 83/84.

Pretty sure I had one of these back in the early 80's. First board I ever owned.
Think the name of the company was Challenger sailboards.
The boards were all built by an Austrian guy in a factory in Heidelberg, Vic.

Dam the responses are getting sensible.

So, I recon the dagger board is not in back to front but just got excited.

Sorry just the mood I am in atm ie silly
