There are only 10 provinces. Same as states really, actually with more autonomy than states. Each is almost its own country in terms of governance. ...

I was hinting at the top 10 Canadian Provinces. But then that would be pretty easy now wouldnt it. 😉

States?

In the old days we called that macrame. Very hippie of you. 🙂

Hey do you have a boomless sail fir a 5.2? I would be interested in that!

Manual is in the technical help gallery. Whirlwind makes great sails for beachcats. I have 2 spare sets of original sails i can sell you for a dece...

I know, i just came back with a nacra 5.7 and could gave got a couple of more while i was there!

Ringdings are not that bad. As long as you get the ones with the little pigtails they are quick and easy. Carry a rigging knife which you should hav...

If you leave everything pretty much put together, lashing the standing rigging to the mast. Lashing the running rigging to to the tramp. And securing...

Mainsails are always designed with a certain amount of shape in them based on thier purpose. I have a stock Elliot Pattison Mainsail for my 5.2 whic...

It is probably a blown out sail like everyone is saying but there is a bit more you can do. First thing on the 5.2 is the outhaul as much as you ca...

I'd be willing to contribute info from my soon to be 2 boats to that. Even a word document would be fine. Doesnt have to be fancy.

Really enjoy sailing in force 3 on the beaufort scale (7-10 kts). Thats a little tame for most. I will go out in up to the low end of force 5, but 1...

Actually i use an extra bow shackle at the top and used 3 at the bottom to connect a harken drum to me bridles. Your solution is simpler and likely i...

No worries. 1500 is all i have left after buying the 5.7. I can't make a fair offer. The mast itself is worth 3k. Go for it if you can.

Hehe, i was hoping for closer to 1000-1500. But looking at some other posts that might be wishful thinking.

Here's the top with the swivel, pigtail and bullet block. Here's the furler, adjuster and cleat for the halyard.

Boomless and boardless just cuts down the workload while you are soloing with a jib. Getting the boards up while coming in for beaching is sometimes ...

I'll be down there there week of the 23rd picking up a Nacra 5.7. If you will sell the mast separately I'll buy it from you. Regards, DaveEdited ...

That is how I did mine. I bought a used furling drum and swivel off of the classifieds here. Measured my forestay eye t eye (four times), Subtracted...

Depends on what class you want to race and what you are looking for in racing. No cat is going to be able to do all those things. If it is prima...

That's true, better to pick a design and scale it to your liking. Or pickup 3-4 plans, measure a couple of fiberglass boats and figure out what you ...

Lots of home built cats out there. Tornados, Sharks and a few others (can't remember what the smaller shark type was). Noah's marine has a plan an...

I have a white EP like the one in the picture and a red custom one. The red one is newer but made out of 4 oz dacron instead of 5 oz like the EP. Eit...

Seal the mast as best as possible. If you find you need more floatation a large boat bumper filled with air or a basketball/soccerball (we use a teth...

Tough one. If your friend doens't know much about boats he will likely be insulted by a fair offer. If the daggerboards are missing and there is as ...

I spent some time up there. They always recommend you wear little bells to warn them off and carry pepper spray just in case. You have to worry abou...

Even going through one every few months, the blue tarps are cheaper. For mast up storage I buy one once a season along with a couple of rolls of duct...
