Skarr/steve, that's a nice looking mast cradle. It doesn't get more durable than PVC. Thanks for posting the picture.

I would not under estimate water in the mast. I do not have the physics to back up what I'm saying, but putting the scenario in perspective should bri...

H-16, nice encounter to share with us. One can only imagine the fear that early explorers crossing the oceans and great lakes must have felt. A feel...

My P18 actually went out in 30mph winds gusting (constantly and consistently) to 62. All of the older lines snapped, the clew ripped out of the jib, b...

I was on a bay of lake Michigan and YES THE WIND WAS 20-25 AND GUSTS 30-40. There was no doubt about it. I would think we had some protection from be...

I live on west bay Traverse City. There are about 5 catamarans moored there now. I have a extra mooring. There are two beach bars to sail to. The Holi...

Why catamaran manufacturers don't use "You tube" I'll never understand. They do use it to promote a new cat, but why not use it to show newbies how to...

Yup, Screwin g in or out adjusts the rake. I put two small hose clamps around 3/4 of the two springs to force them to tighten. This definitely helps b...

Going over near the beach where a few hundred people can see you always brings out some choice words. (last season) Then they see you standing on the ...

Yes, as Andrewscott said about the silicone spray. This makes the sail go up much easier and cleans all the aluminum oxide out of the mast. It looks m...

Here's another for rudder slop.

I did some research on it and found two pieces of information that can really make a difference. One is a you tube video, I really like the video's be...

It's easy to do most fiberglass work. This is something your going to want learn if you have boats. Go to a marine shop and get some woven glass and e...

Congrat's on your new ride Larry. I have a Prindle 16 too. I like the prindle rudder system a lot better than Hobie. If the lines controlling the ru...

I was driving from Texas to Alabama, pulling my new to me MacGregor 36 catamaran. Hey everybody,...... party on Skarr1's massive cat. Let us know whe...

You guys are killing me with the mooring issue! No disrespect, you people have been priceless with info. Esp Andrew Scott, Damon, deepseas and many o...

Yes, perfect.

I like this topic Damen, It gets people to think about the things needed from last season. I would like to build a lightweight box with a lid that...

They make outdoor speakers, just a matter of separating the player from the speakers. A player in the hulls fastened with velcro and a wire sent throu...

Hey, that Chrysler cat would be a nice collector item.
