Nothing goes in the track on the mast except the bolt rope of the sail.

I dunno yours with the solid deck would be ok with a small troller on the back

I happened to have both the old metal and the new nylon ones when I converted mine so I put the metal against the wheel and the nylon next to it and t...

Well there you go done and done.

That's pretty much how I feel about this Marina. Less than 10 min form my door and I have never sailed there because I am not sure I can get back in i...

when your fat, it takes a lot of wind to get exciting. That is for sure. Only time I have ever flown a hull solo is in wind that I would have avoided...

One thing to keep in mind. The heavier air will always seem like too much air until you've given it a go. You can't really find your feel for it until...

I think laying glass on the entire thing is overkill. Just repair whats broke.

You can list it on this site here: and will likely find a buyer. Just toss Damon $5 for the service. These listing reach a lot cat sailors looking fo...

Wow $25 bucks a day launch fees. I thought the $10 ones were too much

I just tie some new tape on every few sails. Keep some Oingo Boingo or whatever floats your boat in the Boat box on the trailer.

Get rid of the PVC, that was for the old style you don't need it anymore. You should have 20 delrin rollers inside each hub. All you need is a the fla...

How secure is your friends beach can it be seen from the house? Is there any lighting at night? Does it get a lot of night traffic? Can you tie a big ...

I used a Dremel with a stone bit to follow the edge of the damage but your job is a bit bigger than any I have done. If you are buying tools for a one...

I am defiantly going to have to consider this. But I may wait a while my son already kicked my trash on our unofficial Race but my boat was overloade...

I have found that SailKote on the front edge of each side of the bolt rope itself where it contacts the sail track the most makes a world of differen...

Update: I wanted to post this earlier but got busy sailing. So I ended up buying a close match to length and thread at NAPA. I then proceeded to fab...

All good advice, I don't want to try to repeat it. I just did a bottom job on my P18. I second lots of gloves. You will change them often and go thro...

Or just look into a mast raising system. That mast has diamond wires so may be little taller that the average 16 ft range boats. Are you planning to m...

On the P16 if it was an early version with no hull ports then the jib might be connected to the side stays.
