I am selling some parts for a friend, I think I may have the steering--he wants to sell the system as a whole, not in parts, though.. br /> If that i...

The shape of the extrusion is a little odd to me, too. It is a tear drop shape, but kind of a fat tear drop.

I had quite the opposite experience with them and I would not recommend them at all. I had stock Supercat 20 main and jib sails that were actually i...

No, they were not made from the same mold, but they are very similar in shape. The Freestyle has bows that are more like a Tornado but straighter to ...

If you want the hull, I can put you in touch with my friend who has it. It would save me the mental turmoil of taking on another project!! He doesn'...

I hate to get picky about terminology, but there are two foiling boats out there, the Windrider Rave and the Hobie Trifoiler. I think you are talking...

I'm talking about the yoke:

I set up a pole on my 18-2 and used the gooseneck bracket (that rivets to the mast). I put it in a vice and 'closed' the side pieces and then just bo...

Say, Didn't Jaws eat one of those?Edited by DanBerger on Nov 24, 2014 - 02:07 PM.

Don't do it--putting a larger rig on a boat NEVER, EVER, EVER works out! Sell the 18 rig and buy a good used Prindle 16 set of sails. I bet Pete h...

I'll try that--someone else suggested CLR for exactly what I'm dealing with.

YES!! Sometimes they are hard to get because they are busy building awesome boats, but they are definitely alive and in business. Keep trying!

Whoa! Slow down!! This is a BAD BAD BAD idea!!!!!!! A cats are VERY delicate and you just can't trust someone to transport it across the country pr...

Hmm. I was thinking $2000-2500. The sale is between friends, so I don't want to hurt either one!

Don't go with the Hobie 16 set up, it doesn't work, period. Many people have tried rigging 14s with jibs in other-than-factory ways and hve not had m...

And why does every non-catsailor call ALL beach cats, Hobiecats?? My mother does that all the time and it drives me nuts! That's like calling all re...

I have to weigh in on this--I can't stand some of the non-sailing morons that try to use sailing terms: Mask? No, it is a MAST Ruter? Nope, rudder ...

I had a good experience with uShip, too, but I'm not too sure about shipping a mast through one of the Uship transporters. I have shipped several mas...

Spring Fever is a huge race on Lake Hartewell, SC/GA. It happened over Easter weekend, so the delorean trick would work--but I don't know how you'd g...

Wow, that was quick! That's exactly what it is!! Thanks!

Well, GOLLEE! Those little flippy things hangin off the back of a boat do all that? Dang! 👿

I personally prefer sarcasm as my abrasive of choice.

It was like a country auction where they took consignments from stores that went under, storage unit buyers, thrift shop owners. They also had estate...

You're right, it is 6 of one, half dozen of the other. The dolphin striker post is screwed into the base and is impossible to unscrew (stainless on a...

The Supercat uses a Hayfield lever--you pull down on the trapeze line to pull the mast over and flip the lever with the other had. VERY easy and quic...
