Fanatic Viper mast foot
Question
Hi, want to try myself in windsurfing... Got for free some staff - Fanatic Light Viper board for beginners (very large and has a big retractable keel), mast, boom, sail. But I need a mast base or foot, don't know the right word for this thing, to connect mast and board. What base is compatible with my board and where I can get it?
Thanks,
Alex
Answer
Hi Alex,
Sorry about the delay in replying. I'm not sure where to find Fanatic parts. If it is just the rubber hourglass, those are easy to find. If you need the parts that attach to the board and slide into the mast, then it could be hard to find. If you are able to find a mast foot that will work (the bottom piece that connects to the board) then the hourglass and base (the part going into the mast) can be found as an aftermarket product from Chinook. Easy to find at Windance.com, Bigwinds.com, and many other sailing shops that offer online shopping.
Try putting Fanatic Viper, Fanatic Viper mast foot, Fanatic mast foot, etc. into search engines. If you come across online shops that deal in Fanatic equipment, email them to see if they have older parts or know where to find them. I'm sure the parts are out there, but it may take some time to find them. I'll keep looking around on my end and if I find some potential resources I will reanswer your question with the information.
Best of luck with your searching. Sorry I couldn't help more.
Keep on sailing,
Windlover
