Rescuer - The boat I was referring to was a JS 9000. I was speaking to a man who makes racing sails today and he knows it well and rates it highly - if you buy one I'd love a spin!! Mind you I remember windsurfing in November off the Northumberland coast nearly 20 years ago - now that was cold.
Stumbled across this on a website - jsyachts.com (doing lots of work today as you can see!)
Rarely available:
We currently have a JS9000 for sale and ready for immediate delivery. The boat has hardly been used and raced only 5 times. The boat is just one year old (launched September 2003), in immaculate condition, and dry-sailed.
