Dave, We have a very active catamaran fleet in va Beach! It is getting difficult to find good used boats around here, but they pop up every now and ...

Thanks Dave, A lot of Nacra parts have migrated from Virginia to Canada! The deck on the Nacras isn't really a structural piece (IMHO), it is glue...

I knew someone was talking about me somewhere.. I do have a lot of parts for a 5.2, but I just sold the tramp--it was a good tramp and went for $50...

I have the mast base bolt and some good used rigging as well as some beams. email me at danberger @ mindspring.com for pics.

Yeah, slamming into stuff--BAD. I agree with Andrew on Sunrise--they are the best and coolest tramps made, However, they are $$$$. Worth it, but ...

Supercats are great boats--You'll like the beefy hulls and smooth ride. The 19 standard rig did not have spreaders. I think the XT rig, which is tal...

Check out Camp Hatteras--awesome place to camp and there is a boat ramp. br /> Check out Hobie Fleet 100's site for the Camp Hatteras race, too. ...

I play along with the scammers for a while just to waste their time. When they send the check, I know it is fake and I have them send it directly to ...

$500 for any boat is a good price if it doesn't need too much work. If the decks are soft, don't get it. If it is minor fiberglass or gell, and you ...

I had SloSails make a custom trampoline for my Supercat 15 and it is pretty nice. I got the tracks from Aquarius, but I had the ame problems with it ...

I think that welding the base to the beam will only give you a brief fix. The beams are thin and the welding will weaken the metal. The constant fle...

There is a guy on eBay that is producing them. You may need to search for ended auctions. There was also a guy that was advertising the assmebly on ...

I thought it was a funny response. Looking back at your weight requirements, it may be the boat for you. 5-600lbs of crew is a lot to keep it down. ...

There isn't a lot of info on line about SC19s--they are a pretty rare boat and there are a few people sailing them. I would join the forum on Aquariu...

I remember reading a post from Bill Roberts (the designer of the Supercat) where he suggested against wings. However, I try not to listen to reason. ...

If you are looking for a set of sails, I have had Solcat 18, Prindle 18 and Hobie 18 sails at the same time and they are interchangeable. The Solcat ...

Not even close. However, we did a race a few years ago on a 16 and the tramp fell apart the day before. We used a 14 tramp and had to basically ...

I found that the Hawaiian system is awesome for Hobie 14s and 16s because you can get it over the hull and get more leverage. It isn't as great on so...

I have one of Gary's poles that I got for my P19--it is a modified oar that has a plastic piece that slips into the centerboard well. It is very nice...

I don't know why they changed, buthaving the tiller in a high position isn't a bad thing. It keeps the yolk (where the tiller extension attaches to t...

It doesn't matter if they are bent or straight--as long as both sides match. I can't see a picture, but if one is much longer, then it is probably a ...

There are some other little differences that are important. The sidestays are the same length, but most Turbos have a thicker guage wire. The real...

I have actually had P18, Solcat 18 and Hobie 18 sails at the same time and put them on top of eachother to see the difference. They are all so close...

There is nothing wrong with the original Dacron sails on a Hobie 14. Some of us got the square top ones for extra performance, but we were really pus...

When you refer to a Hobie 18 (H18), you are talking about the Hobie 18 classic--the older design. Hobie Tigers are also 18 footers, but they are gene...

The one for the Hobie 14/16 will work on a Prindle. It isn't an exact fit, but it is clese enough. I use mine on any boat. It is the white fiberglas...

I have actually had a Sol Cat 18, Prindle 18, and Hobie 18 sail on top of eachother to measure. They are all close enough to be inter changed. The S...
