Origin
My first own board. I bought this board in 1994 at Hart Beach Shop in Scheveningen. The board was already fairly used by then: the mast rail already had many dents.
Solid
The Starlit is a fairly wide wave board, which makes it very stable in turns. It is quite heavy for its length, but it is also very strongly built. And the extra weight gives a little more control in very strong winds (7 beaufort or more). A modern, light board is quickly lifted due to its very low weight and then the control really decreases.
I've spoken to several people who have ever owned one and they all say that it really is one of the best boards for a lot of wind. It is starting to get very worn by now, there are cracks in the mast rails.
Replacement
In the end, I didn't dare to go on the water with this board anymore. I was far too afraid that the mastrail would break and I would have to swim back a long way. That's why I replaced it. But instead of 1 board I went to 2 boards a 100 liters, my Skate. and a 85 liters of my Naish 8'5".
Last Rest Place
Because the board was already old and repairing the mast rail was too expensive, it had been with Martijn for a while who might want to try it. In the end, nothing came of trying that. He gave it to Hans, who cleaned it very nicely and gave it a last resting place in his garden. Nice in the sun.
Sailing
I only sailed this board when there was a lot of wind because otherwise I really had to swim. So also only with small sails. Especially the Mistral 4.8 I sailed a lot.
Fins
The Starlit have and US-box and so I have all US-Box fins for that too. Some old ones that I do take with me as a spare in case I really completely demolish a good.
