So the wind sux in Perth at the moment and that is making me depressed . As all my sails are cheapies 3rd hand wave sails (largest being 6.2m), I want a large 7m+ cheapie to handle this 10-14 knots. The thing is, I don't want to get another mast or boom either.

So, if anyone has an old patched up 7m+ sail which fits on a 430 RDM mast (with 42cm extension) and a 200cm max boom, please let me know.

My flame suit is on for putting this here and not the wanted section. Its just that nobody seems to read the wanted section.

Go and buy a decent 2nd hand 7.5 with matching bend curve mast and longer boom it's a good investment . You will really enjoy your extra time on the water a lot more and you might find that you will use it more than you think . I use my 7.1 and my 7.8 most summers

wind sucks!?
last week it blew monday, tuesday, wednesday, saturday, sunday, and again on monday
I dunno man. 6 out of 8 days over 18kn can't be too sucky in my books.

Oh Grumpysmurf. You are are just too grumpy.
It must be all the guiness you drink after every sail.
I would agree with AUS1023's advice. Invest in a new 460 mast and boom.
This would give you a greater range of sails for your quiver.
Remember who dies with the most toys wins.
