Hope you have fun on the TC, my first board (brand new, I was so excited) was one and it was appalling. I think it predated the Spacer.

I'm looking at using the TC Spacer as a step up from the Wayler as the TC has the retractable dagger board. I Also have a HiFly 500, that my mate and I went halves in, it's a really nice board to use as its a lot lighter then the Wayler.

I'm heading upto Lake Cootharaba this weekend for a good leisurely sail, I'm just hoping the wind doesn't pick up as strong as it did a couple of weeks ago at the Wind Wanderes Day.

Anyways I would love to catch up with some fellow vintage board riders and get some tips off ya's.

The wayler is not a bad board.
The TC might be a bit more fun in a blow, however, back in the day, one of our locals sailed an original wayler with an upgraded rig and used to get around a triangle course much quicker than most of the more exotic boards.

Cool, although I have not long had the Wayler it is a very nice board to ride.

Well just got back from picking up the TC Spacer, Very nice board although a bit scratch up from sitting outside for so long. Sail is in fairly good condition but missing the battons, the mast footing rubber is broken, but i'm thinking a piece of hose with a thick spring up the guts to replace that. should work I hope. the main thing I am already liking is that I can lift it myself as the Wayler is so heavy.

Hope to have the TC ready by this weekend for the Lake

Hey i got a tc spacer my dad bought it new from were i worked we imported them .Barlow marine. I remeber having to go and empty the shipping containers they came in there must have been thousands imported. THe deck is so soft now its not funny .

hello, you wouldn't by any chance have the mast foot you would be willing to part with? the rubber in mine broke when I pulled it apart yesterday. I am looking at trying to replace it with a bit of thick hose and a tension spring which should last longer than the old rubber thing used.

My tendon broke so i modified to take normal rubber . Kids still use board . Good luck with the foot straps

Go to a Windsurfer One Design championships and you'll find 40+ sailors on "vintage" gear.
