Wanted (11 May 2023) Old Tornado or Stampede for loving home. For pure pleasure, doesn't need to be current or competitive. Must have at least hulls, centerboards, rudders, crossbeams, mast, and mainsail. These major components must be in working condition. I can come up with rigging, trapezes, blocks, ropes, etc. Beach dolly/wheels, spares, and/or trailer greatly appreciated. Needs to be relatively inexpensive. I live and sail in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I am willing to travel throughout southern Ontario and the American north east. Any offers or leads appreciated. Thank you.

For Sale: Super-fast special build Eales Tornado 2006
This unique Tornado was built by Graham Eales especially for British Olympic competitor (Beijing 2008) William Howden. This carbon tornado is super light and super-fast. The hull shape has been slightly modified within the class rules, making the catamaran much faster than a Mastrom, especially downwind, without losing speed upwind. This is proven by the fact that William Howden won the 2006 European Championships with this catamaran and won the last Tornado Olympic medal race with one of his two other sister boats. This tornado was the reserve boat as evidenced by various Olympic participation stickers on mast and rudders, among others.
The Tornado is equipped with all possible class-legal trim options, all of which can be operated from the trapeze. Naturally, luff, mast rotation and leech of the mainsail can be trimmed, but also the luff of the jib. The release of the luff of the spinnaker is operated by the helmsman. The tornado is equipped with a super light Eales spinnaker launcher for extremely fast hoisting and lowering of the spinnaker.
The mast and beams are Mastrom.
The Tornado comes with 2 sets of racing sails. These sails were specially developed by William Howden for the Beijing Olympics.
Set 1:
Super light weather set (grey) for wind range 1-3 BF. This set is super sensitive, with the right trim every gust of wind is instantly converted into speed. Above 3 BF, this set starts to bite and the wind is no longer converted into more speed. The jib is fitted with 2 zips on the luff, allowing optimal adjustment of the jib trim to wind conditions.
Set 2:
Power set (white) for wind range from 3 BF. This set is my favourite. With the right trim, this set is perfectly controllable from 3BF onwards. If you are daring, you can still go full throttle up and downwind (with spinnaker) at 7 BF. The jib is fitted with 2 zips on the luff, allowing optimal adjustment of the jib trim to wind conditions.
Spinnakers:
1 x Zucolli (2010)
1x Grandsegel mark 4
Including matching cattrack with tornado scales and balloon tyres.
Price: € 12.500,-
Optionally available with a simple trailer without box on which the tornado can be transported disassembled.
More information by phone from Paul Busé +31 649356414. (I have the most time for you in the evening).
The Tornado is located in the Netherlands.
