The Cruiser-Windstar is a discontinued oddity of Discraft's late-80s catalog: a certification granted in 1989 (PDGA cert 89-10) under the hyphenated pair name, with the same 21.4-centimeter, 177.6-gram-max dimensions as the 1987 Cruiser and the 1989 Windstar whose names it joins.

What the paired name actually covered is lost to time; the filing reads like a relic of how early certifications were handled, and its recorded measurements duplicate the Cruiser's exactly. All three names left the lineup long ago. It carries no published flight numbers here; surviving copies are among the more obscure pieces of vintage Discraft.
