A Re-look at the Ultimate Quiver and Some PWA Gossip

Hi
Andy sent me an e-mail with his thoughts on the ultimate windsurfing quiver.  I include the message here:

Hi Phil

Current ULTIMATE quiver that I have been giving some thought to:

Boards	Fins	Sails
Vapor	Formula Fin	Overdrive 9.5 or Phantom 9.2
Manta 85/135	53&49 S11	Overdrive 8.6 or Phantom 8.5
Manta 71/116	39,41&43 S10/11/12/Vmax?	Overdrive 7.8 or Phantom 7.8 & Savage 6.6 or 7.2
3S 66/116 or Rocket 66/115	36,38 SRX/ 37,39 S12 or combo	Cross 6.4 & 5.6
3S 61/96	30,32 SRX, 33S12 or Edge 31&33	Cross 5.6 & 4.8

I would still like my 5.2 cross in there somehow, but struggle to justify it, even in the ultimate quiver.

A challenge would be getting enough "Special Sticks" for the Cross sails.

Since it is the ultimate quiver I would want lovely carbon booms, extensions and bases[Chinook springs to mind] also.

This is an interesting quiver.  If you wanted to restrict yourself to 3 boards I think Manta 85 and 71 with a 3S 96 would go a long way to covering all your needs.  The "special sticks" he refers to are the masts we have discovered which work so well with the Cross sails.

A quick bit of PWA gossip before I sign off.  I heard that Alberto Menegatti is leaving Gaastra for Point 7.  I have seen no confirmation of this anywhere on the Internet so please don't quote me but let's see if my intelligence sources are any good.

Talk to you soon
