So The P18 top batton really has quite and angle to it. It is not really square. You just leave it like this and call it good. Other that the head pla...

Some day I'll make the trek to one of these though I might have arrange to borrow a boat I really don't wanna tow that far.

Not likely top 10 but I know you have had at least 3 new members sign up from Utah recently because I used to be the only active one.

Pete has done this before using Hobie 16 parts. It involves moving the bridle forward about 18 inches or so on the bow. I think it sounds great but h...

Funny story about Jib sheet preventer: I just went out on the Great Salt Lake for the first time last week. Sailing was great out on the water but at ...

Does you 1977 P16 have ports just behind the from beams? My 1976 does not but I am not sure what year that changed. If you have no ports then you will...
