Or a trailer like this. Walk thru. Sails all hanging vertically ready to go. Kitchen galley. Sleeping quarters. Workshop.

The Ranger would tow that easy.

So it appears the winner is the iS107

Most were 100litres or more, except Simon100 who likes his sinker 90 cause it's fast.




will have to see how the starboard handles the surf then.


no surf in brisbane, id prefer to sail a bit more than just weekends


you can still use my board during the week. it's not limited to weekend use only.

it **** me a little the other day when I was frantically rigging my gear and fumbling with worn out ropes that a mate rocked up in his van and pulled a pre-rigged 6m out the back and went sailing.

I've just purchased a Mistral Slalom 137. Slowboat (Chris Lockwood) who is the designer of the board and agent in Australia says that it is his go to board for sailing on the swan river in Perth. He uses with sails from 6 to 9m2 in 10 to 25kt wind. He regularly clocks 2 sec speeds of +38kts. I'm looking forward to trying out on Morton Bay

This one is easy for a GPS sailor. Misteral 68. Can get going in 15kts and some guy in Croatia did 42kts last month. Mr Boat even goes rather quick on this one too...

John, excellent choice. I have the a+b 2010 110ltr slalom and jacob has the mistral 2012 123ltr slalom, they are both awesome boards I dont think I have used my fsw and I sold my excite ride after getting the a+b.
