I have a 5.2 jib I'm selling--see if you can get measurements off your SC17 jib and I can compare. Check with Aquarius, they have a used sail inven...

Keep the mast raked at 5 degrees per Aquarius. They like to have some rake, but if you stand the mast up straight, Supercat's just don't go. Too muc...

I agree--get a jib first BUT, if you really want to work on that mast, try JB Weld. It sticks to metal well and is close in color. Clean up the a...

The rudders for the 15, 16 and 18 are the same. The 18-2 and 19 rudders are a few inches shorter, but look very similar. The newer style 18-2 and 19...

I always wear one when racing or saling solo. On days when there are a few people in the boat and it is a drifter, we sometimes don't. That's pretty...

Whatever you do--DON'T fill the hulls with foam! The foam will retain water and destroy your hulls from the weight. Noodles are good and light--...
