I'll give it a look but I don't want to get into trading equipment every few months.
Second lesson tomorrow, weather permitting. There are bound to be improvements because I can't do any worse!
Pete,
If you get into this, you had better not start your "search for experience from behind a keyboard" bit with the windsurfing group. Cat sailors have nothing on the windsurfing guys when it comes to varied opinions and "suggestions" on what you have to have/buy in order to make the things work. Sails, masts, boom, boards, foils ALL different - but all you really nead is a bazzillion hours water time and you might be pulling off a planning jibe.
Have fun man.
