I uploaded my 5.2 pics to the gallery section. I dont know that anyone will gain anything from them being there but figured it may help someone at som...

Ahh great minds think alike Yurdle! I went and found some easily replacable nylon/delrin spacers last night at Home Depot. I bought twice as many as...

Hey Ted Maybe next time there will be wind! It was nice meeting you yesterday. Keep an eye on tcdyc and the FB page for info. Hopefully next time you...

Another bit of advice....If the hole that the rudder blade itself rotates on is worn and has slop your rudders will not funtion properly. My P19 syste...

Another thing to note. Make sure that your knot (main halyard) that ties into the ring is facing the back of the boat and not facing the front of the ...

Yes sir ill be there! that kind of stuff happens and the only way to get past it is to jump back on and give it another go. Ill gladly get back on...

Well i guess your covered then. My rigging is lightly used but NEW is always the way to go. You will have a good feeling next time your out knowing th...

You could always tie a small line onto the existing rope with a trap handle on it. I did that to my 5.2 and it was a nice feature for the price. I put...

I am not use to the power yet so I tend to get overpower and not able to steer out of it quick enough so I have to pop the sheet and let out then I pu...

Which model Prindle do you sail? I have some rigging thats in good shape that i was given and wouldnt mind giving it to a good home if it will fit.

I would try the traditional penetrating epoxy fix before i used A/B foam. You can get Get-Rot epoxy or a similar penetrating epoxy pretty cheaply.

New springs make a huge difference on the Prindle rudders. Try new springs and let us know if it fixed it.

Id put a line between the bridal anchors and pull from there rather than the dolphin striker.

Your pics look very similar to a H16 that i had that was delaminating. Push on that area with your palm and see if it depresses fairly easy. Delam in ...

The bushings are to take the slop out between the rudder blades and the castings. Are these the bushings your referring to? The only nylon bushings i ...

David, One option to think about in the future is to find a second hand or new Nacra 500 jib. The 500 is the new 5.0 with modern features. The 500 she...

nevermind, went to your gallery and checked out the boat. Looks great! The only area for improvement may be some more purchase on that downhaul system...

Hey wolfman did u end up doing the barberhaulers? The pivmatics are just cut up pieces of a hot stick. Ever look at a ariba stick and a pivmatic si...

See this topic br /> There are pictures of the 2:1 rudder set up and other mods i made to my 5.2

Weather helm could be caused by several different things. First check the toe in of the rudders. Measure distance from rudder to ruddetr on leading ed...

Good to hear Dave. I ran my rudders that way for over a year and they popped up atleast 10-15 times due to emergency beach landing or hitting somethin...

That sounds like wuite the adventure Dave! As Bob said above tie some loops in your righting line and use it as a ladder. When i sailed a 5.2 i would ...

Buy the P19, Sheet in and hold on! The P19 is much more boat than a P16 or H16. If you dont mind the set up time difference and are willing to sail...

If you need any P18 parts let me know. Im local and have sails, mast, rudders, etc that i will sell for a fair price.

Go to tcdyc.com and ask these questions. Many of the members live in that area and can advise you better than i can. I surf launch at surfside 95% of ...

Ive got a hobie bob i would sell fairly cheap. PM me if you want it. A well sealed mast will work, the bob just adds flotation to the well sealed mast...

You could always put in in the Clear lake area. Huge bay to sail with no surf. Conroe has some shifty winds that can be very frustrating at times (i l...
