I’m not sure all the Mysteres used the small bolt rope. I ripped my 6.0XL, (in the 10’ wide configuration), & while speaking with Yves Sansoucy, rega...

Sorry Damon, I deleted the PM. No OP was an exact quote of the PM. IIRC, it showed up in my INBOX as from asa1.

I think the Arriba sticks are still available, at least they have a website.

Where abouts are you? I have a brand new, never used 8’ Arriba Hot Stik, (telescoping ). Still has the stickers on it. It’s been sitting in my basemen...

Wow, that’s N Carolina? I was looking into that as a winter home. I’m up in S Alberta today, on the edge of the Rockies. I can walk across my lawn i...

Maybe a recent but not quite latest-model a-cat? plus our wind is typically light in the morning followed by moderate insanity ... I don't think 165lb...

Made the link live, The missing hatch is easily replaced. Hatch & O- ring are available from Windsport in the UK, for £11, about $15

Yes, the halyard comes down the same slot it goes up. Lay the boat on its side, with the mast supported. Then “raise” the sail & see what’s binding. O...

MN3 correctly advised you re most of your questions. I used to own a 2001 Mystere 6.0 XL. I had beams for both 8’ width & 10’ width, along with a fron...

Welcome. I definitely would NOT add 11lb to the other hull Someone more knowledgeable on Hobie will chime in. In the meantime, for some reason it take...

Whatever you do, TAPE those ring dings on the swivel. It is very easy for a line to catch a ring-ding. Once they get pulled out of shape, they can eas...

Is it something like the Classic Tornado(before self tacking) with a wire from inner hullside to hullside? No wires. It’s a small track, affixed to a...

Hey Lars, I might have a better solution...as in a Harken car/track. It’s up at my lake house, I’m in Korea right now, but will be back there in the n...

Hey Bore, It doesn’t work to just copy paste the links, they don’t end up “live”. You have to select the little oval shaped button, “URL”, just be.ok ...

That boat is overpriced. Really good condition, maybe- with 4 ports added, something was wrong or broken. Cool thing is sometimes they click the wrong...

You didn’t say which cat. I’m assuming,(from the skeg remark), you’re referring to the N5.7 You need to “tip” the boat in order to get the antifreeze ...

One thing I have an occasional problem with it the jib blocks sometimes get caught on the mast by the diamond wires during the jibe and tack. What is...

it appears you are allowed to have some overhang from the beach wall. With that setup, I would construct a teeter-totter, for each hull, you already h...

In the last 18 years of cat sailing I've capsized about 5 times Wow, I need to see you for lessons! I capsized The Beast 3 times in one summer.

I was thinking of taking it out and putting the whole thing in the water so I can look down into the hull and see any problem areas. Not filling it wi...

Is there a way to test waterfastness without putting it in the water? I would not bother with putting water in the hulls. In a liquid, pressure is det...

They would also have to be removed together due to the pivmatic system. No,they do not. The pivmatic has NOTHING to do with tieing both rudders. That ...
