I got a Trac 14 for a case of Heinekin a few years ago. You can adapt hobie 14 steering to fit!

Rob, Did you have success with the Hobie 17 mast base on your 18 rig? That would help with Car Guy's issue. I think a Getaway mast base would work ...

I have a top down roller furling spin on my Supercat 15 and I had to set it up so that I could remove the spin system without dropping the mast. My b...

Totally biased opinions: I really really really hate to say it, but a Hobie 16 would be the best. If you get one that is newer than 1984 and you rep...

Definitely a Sol Cat---BUT It looks too small to be an 18, I think it is a 15!! That would be a very cool boat! No jib blocks on the front beam, un...

And... I believe the 18s were modified 20s, maybe 19s like Mac stated. Look at the sterns--they are really short. The mast has the 19 spreaders on ...

Supercat did make a handful of 18 footers--to compete in the 18 Square market. They had 10-12 foot beams and used a SC19 or 19XL mast. The 19 mast i...

I'm sure the Hobie 18 furler would be plenty strong for the SC 21. However, it might be a little tricky to install one if the boat has a spinnaker po...

Unfortunately, you can't move them to the front beam without re-cutting your jib. I believe the Prindle 18 jib overlaps the mast, anyway. IMHO, th...
