I think it would be more work to tip the boat on the beach (without mast) than it is to just step it. Momentum is key, don't stop once you start going...

It depends heavily on his ring system. The graphic shown by Jack is a relatively forgiving system that can work in either direction in a pinch. I use ...

Simple and effective, looks like a decent idea.

Theoretically it would work. My thoughts are that would would need to fashion some sort of a back stay though since the main will not be up and sheete...

Do you have sail boxes? I don't think you can really compare a beach cat to a power boat. The power boat is normally heavy and very forgiving to move...

Do it all on the trax, the only downside is hauling it up the ramp. The benefits make it worthwhile though. My boat comes off the trailer and goes on...

I would encourage you to buy some beach wheels immediately and forget about trailer launching solo. Plenty of people do it, but wheels work much bette...

€31,250 (before VAT and shipping) to be exact. The flying phantom is €28,260.

The N20FCS is ~ $40k and the retrofit kit runs about $10k

If your on the Hobie 14/16 in your avatar, back winding the jib is pretty typical. Those boats are pretty unforgiving to tack. You may improve with ea...

If you have pivoting exit blocks on both sides, I think those are/were for a mast rotation system using those empty cheek blocks on the mast. Now th...

Q1, it doesn't take much to hold those end caps on. In the past they have been a friction fit most of the time. I'm guessing you got the rear cap off ...

Our racing season is shut off until Labor Day here.

If the i20 is the same price as a MK1 infusion, the i20 is over priced. I still think it's a better choice for the sailing you describe.

Assuming were talking about one of the bolts holding the beam to the hull. Try it with an anti-seize lubricant but don't force it. If that doesn't not...

There are plenty of cheap trap harnesses out there. Check eBay.

I had a P19 that broke in half just forward of the front beam, it did have inspection ports installed. I would not do it if I was you.

7 hole adjusters is a better idea than cables.

I don't see why you would need a bridal. The cross bar takes the place of one. Ideally, I think you want a "softer" connection of the bar to the hul...

Speaking of that, I have been dying to create "boat henge" any tips on convincing my wife that it's a solid idea?

Team SC plans to arrive by cover of darkness Thursday.Edited by bacho on May 19, 2014 - 12:12 PM.

I think the people who have suggested just driving it are pretty accomplished sailors and have a genuine interest in helping the rest of the group bec...

I'm not familiar with stock H20s, I wish you would have been more clear that those were different boats! The 2nd pic would appear to have a fancy jib ...

I was BSing around the boat waiting on the wind to start up when I tripped over my rudder blade and cut the crap out of one of my toes. Apparently the...

Trying common rudders may be easier and cheaper in the long run. Post a pic with a few dimensions and. We should be able to come up with something sim...

It's called being focused! 😀

Peter, no open class? Don't be discouraged, I would try to complete half the laps of the F18s. That would be great success starting out. A B fleet ...

The glass should be pretty thin, about an 1/8 sounds right. Some boats are solid glass at the very bottom, but I can't really recall if the i20 was li...

On the I20 we would have wear on the back of the trunk similar to what you show. I don't think I would worry about the missing gel coat much. If the b...
