Fleabay tat
After seeing some of the tat on offer at a Well Known Auction Site in your neighbourhood I'm wondering if anyone has a secret urge to sail one. Indeed, has anybody recently or does anybody still as a matter of course (racing longboards excluded) sailed one?
Between you & me: What's it like?Here to share the love.

I've got an early '80s HiFly which I last used around six years ago, complete with early '80s mast, sail, tie-on boom & fluorescent harness. It wasn't particularly pleasant. It's next trip out will be to the tip.

I kept a Tiga 275 ACR long after I should have. It dropped off the plane like a brick in the lulls

Hah hah, I'd have thought the Canadians would have known it somehow but maybe it is more a purely British expression Originally Posted by tooold2dance
It essentially means junk, often as in this context junk that somebody's trying to make a bit of money from. Usually either very old second hand stuff or very cheap & shoddy new, like typical tourist "memorabilia".
Example usage - "I can't believe she paid that much for a bunch of old tat..."

I had a 268! Incredible board in nuclear winds. Like a submarine in anything less that 35kts Originally Posted by Mark Aged 42

I do often see stuff on eBay and think I'd love a go on that but then I always think - but I have better gear so what's the point. I can see it happening though, if something mint comes up i will go for it.
