Hi all

I aquired a brand new 4m ripcurl sail a few years ago. I didn't even know ripcurl actually produced sails but hey now I do.

Does anyone have any idea if this would be a collectors item and might be worth something before i assign it a hard life as a shed ornament. Its a nice bright yellow and screams 80's windsurfing like nothing else.

Cheers all.

I also have an old Gaastra Grind 5.4m if anyone wants it for the low low price of picking it up.

Marty I had a few of them in the old days but they where the later wind series ones, I remember they went from ripcurl to wind series and then finally to wild winds, all came out of Vic.

I was using my bright orange 1980's Rip Curl waist harness until late last summer... now retired after the buckle was lost at sea off Seacliff (very disappointed!). Keeping this harness for display in the man cave. Remember seeing the Fluro Rip Curl sails back in the day... thinking there's one buried deep down in the shed. The red & white Coke sails looked great on the water too.
