Hi everyone,
Just throwing it out there, but does anybody or know anybody who has an older generation mozzie kite sitting in the back of the shed or something, and would be interested in selling it? Not really keen on buying a new one for a first kite, so it would fantastic to score a second-handy.
Thanks
Harry

Hi Harry

There's not really an older generation spinnaker. They're all pretty much the same - just some are "old" smile

Have you heard anything about the state titles next year? It's all very quiet.

Hi Tim,
Thanks for letting me know that, in that case does anyone have any old spinnakers? As far as states go, a few things are still being decided due to a couple of things. Should get back to you soon.
Thanks

I have a really old baggy original one but I don't think it would be much use. I'm selling my Mozzy which has a good spin ex Peter Dunk, was planning to sell it with the spin but PM me with an offer and I may split the whole spin kit from the boat including chute pole etc

G'day Harry I can't PM pics but won't hurt for others here to explain why the old giant billowing spin is actually much slower than the newer flat spins. The bent pipe on the spin pole is just the camera mount.
