I think it is a great idea! It would be convenient to show who actually posted the location and give a link to that person for info. Also, maybe a r...

I have the rudders, tiller crossbar, a jib sail and a boom for it. I have the same tramp, too that is plain and doesn't have the slots for the jib co...

Yes! You have to take the mast down, unbolt the beam (one side and remove the tramp. I got away with just unboltinf one side because I could lift it...

The same thing happened to me on a 450 a few years ago with the same car. It was an awful sound when the bearings hit the water! I think if you go t...

We leave the wheels on the beach and have never had a problem. I bought two of those bike chains that are like thick cables covered in plastic. It i...

For Hobie 16s, if you have the old style halyard with the reefing bead, you need to tie the end of the halyard line to the wire line to create a loop,...

If you do go sailing, make sure you list the parts you have left on the classifieds!

OK, two things-- Don't forget the compression tube, or you'll be sorry. The stainles bolt will corrode the hole in the aluminum mast and it will e...

Got the A together and went sailing on Monday. While wheeling it to the beach, I put a huge scratch in my new paint 😡

C'mon, man, Rick has done a lot for cat sailing, so we should support him by buying his product instead of pirating it.

Tom, Dave is right on the peel and stick non skid peeling off. It is easier to apply it if you are just doing a stripe, but corners and deck hardw...

The 19/18.2 jib system is pretty trick, but it is a pain in the neck and makes for an uncomfortable tramp. You can use the standard sheeting car on t...

It is the 'Sublime' color from the 70s Hemis. I got it in Awlgrip--they didn't have it, so they made is especially for me (supposedly). I used the...

I just finished the non-skid on my A cat... Totally Hemi!!

And my Supercat 15!

Just got my A cat painted!! ...and yes, it is sitting on broken chunks of Hobie 16 flotation...Edited by DanBerger on Apr 24, 2012 - 11:27 AM.

OK, after careful consideration, I believe it is a prototype 18 foot Aqua Cat that measures 20 feet when the rudders are extended. What do I win? ...

ACK!! Ugly is what it is. Looks like someone saw an Aquacat and thought they could improve on it.

Put an ad on www.Uship.com Take some pictures and give a good description and indicate that it can go on top of a truck. There are a lot of people o...

Great Deal! I got a Trac 14 about 10 years ago in excellent shape (minus steering) for a case of Heineken! The owner got transferred out of state ...

Jay, I have a set for sale in the classifieds--they are also on eBay:

The 5.2 mast might be the best for a tri IF you are using a fixed (non rotating mast). The older style 5.2 masts had a straight spreader that runs th...

It looks OK--anything newer than 84 is a decent boat. $1500 is a decent price for a good Hobie 16 around here. A few things to note--it has the adju...

How about a kite from an F18HT?? The luff is ~28 feet. The turning blocks were mounted on the shrouds, so the foot is pretty small, like 14 feet. ...

On the Shark thing, I cought a ride on one for the Tradewinds last year and it was a blast. The only issue I have with them is that they are VERY sli...

Damon, I have a bunch of old factory manuals, sales brochures and posters that I would like to donate. A while ago, someone was scanning stuff lik...

They will work, but you will probably have to relocate your gudgeons. The Hobie 18 new style system is great--especially if you get EPO rudders. I...

I have a 33 foot mast from an F18HT. I'm in Virginia, but I can arrange shipping.
