Haha!!! Kul med folk som har humor. Problemet är väl att vissa kanske inte fattar att en del är skämt… 😀

Never buy a used mast. We’re not knocking local swaps, eBay or your local hard-core sailing buddy, but you just don’t know where those masts have been—rickety roof racks, prolonged exposure to sun, certain places in Tijuana—and there’s no such thing as prophylactics for masts.

Taking Care of Your Mast

Restating the obvious: Avoid impacting your mast with objects that can damage it: cars, racks, rocks, reefs, kite surfers, etc. Think of the mast as an egg, really super strong until it has a crack in it.

Don’t get burned: Keep out of the sun—though UV-resistant, masts can get sunburned and weakened from exposure to the sun’s rays. We recommend only sailing in the shade; Holland and England are great spots to sail in this respect.

Sail Safely

Windsurfing is fun. If you didn’t know that already then you wouldn’t have liquidated a significant portion of your assets to go to Maui last year. But it can also be dangerous. Here are some hints for optimizing safety on and off the water.

Mast-Related Safety

Sailing in an electrical storm is like walking around in a field with a lightning rod—don’t do it. Carbon masts are electrically conductive. Also take care not to rig or sail near power lines.

Always make sure the ferrule connection (where the lower mast part inserts into the top mast part) is fully engaged (that the two parts are butted together and the ferrule is not visible) before and after rigging your sail.

Always make sure that the base extension is inserted at least 6 inches (15 cm) into the bottom of the mast.

Before sailing, inspect your mast for cracks, discoloration or other signs of wear and tear that could potentially lead to breakage.

Never buy a used mast. We’re not knocking local swaps, eBay or your local hard-core sailing buddy, but you just don’t know where those masts have been—rickety roof racks, prolonged exposure to sun, certain places in Tijuana—and there’s no such thing as prophylactics for masts.

General Safety

Protect your melon with a helmet. Getting knocked out on the water can lead to very bad things.

Never leave home without a personal flotation device. You might not think they look cool on the beach, but they’ll feel cool when your universal breaks and you’re alone and getting blown offshore and it’s getting dark. …

Always sail with a buddy. It’s fun to show off in front of each other—not to mention he’s there for fou when you put your head through your sail.

Never teach your spouse, a significant other, or family members how to windsurf. Find them a certified instructor—the cost of a lesson is always cheaper than professional counseling and psychotherapy.

For ultimate safety, mothers recommend not sailing for an hour after eating.
