Anybody got one for sale? I cant find one anywhere, so I'm asking if anyone has upgraded to IQ foil or the new race kit and might want to sell their old one. :)

Just use a piece of 4b2 she'll be right.

He's hard enough to catch already. Don't give him ideas.

He's finally managed to get one.


Since you're all here, whats the easiest/quickest method to cut through a piece of carbon, round about 15mm at its thickest point, bout 15cm wide? Reciprocating saw? Hacksaw?


Gonna be in a bit of a hurry when i do it, so quickest method is best. Not really worried about cutting straight...

Be careful - cutting carbon is know to be hazardous. The dust is the problem, you get these fine particles that may cause bad troubles later on.

I have two methods cutting carbon, either I cut the carbon immersed in water (in winter when I cant go outside) - or outside if possible wearing a fine particle mask - wind in my back.

in that context (quickest is best), then diamond tipped hacksaw blade, same as Rob Rock uses for mast repairs.

If need perfect finish, but a new part.

And protect yourself from dust as Carvstar advises.

Err, yes. I'll be sure to wear my dust mask. Lucky we're in the middle of co-vid. Nothing suspicious going on here... carry on de-rigging...

I think a thermal lance would be quick and avoid the dust issues.
