Hi All ,

Anyone know where one of these may be for sale ?

Cheers and thanks for any information ,

The odd one comes up on EBay, have not seen one for awhile. There were not many in Australia in the first place, they were used only for one Olympic games. Fairly expensive at the time. The one I see on eBay was advertised at $1000 but never gets a bid. There was a thread about them on Sailing Anarchy recently. Apparently they are still popular overseas.

I'm guessing no luck finding Tempests? I used to have KA-7 but it had KA-15 on the sails. Dad bought the boat as a mooring minder and we put in a little time to bring it back to life. Ended up with a great boat and sailed it heaps on Pittwater. Not really sure what happened to it. That was about 30 years ago though, mid 80's if I remember correctly. We bought sails second hand from a funeral director up in St Ives, he had all his old sails stored in caskets in the basement, quite funny really...
